Thinking Skills Grade 3-4

0/5 ( ratings)

Introduce your Grade 3 and 4 students to more complex thinking challenges -- questions to be answered, solutions to be found, and discoveries to be made. The 44 lessons in critical thinking presented here are each comprised a chart that poses a problem or question, notes to the teacher with suggestions and an answer key, and a reproducible student page to be used with the chart or as follow-up practice.

The variety of activities in this book will strengthen students' thinking skills and enhance learning. The charts and student pages help students
* Think Critically - sort, classify, analyze, and compare and contrast
* Think Logically - use analogies, predictions, and patterns
* Think Creatively - develop fluency and original ideas
* Solve Problems - define the problem, analyze information, hypothesize, validate, and judge
Examples of skills of increased complexity from the Grade 1-2 volume include using Venn Diagrams and understanding syllogisms.

One of the greatest benefits to be gained through these thinking activities is in the sharing of ideas and strategies among students . The format of this book promotes this process and provides an opportunity to reward well-thought-out strategies and unique problem-solving approaches as well as correct answers. Clear charts and graphs highlighted by cute, comical illustrations throughout. All 88 pages perforated for easy removal.
