Whole-year
program
This comprehensive
thinking-skills program includes motivational activities for the
elementary grades. It focuses on five important skill areas:
analytical thinking, flexible thinking, problem-solving, elaborative
thinking, and originality, fascinating students with its diverse
challenges. The focus is on five different thinking skills:
analytical, flexible, and elaborative thinking; problem solving; and
originality.
All students can benefit from these
innovative, effective techniques--students in regular classrooms as
well as those in gifted programs. After all, when you improve
thinking skills, you're sure to improve performance in other areas,
such as language arts and math. Many
teachers hand out an assignment each morning, letting youngsters
complete it sometime during the day. Since five skill areas are
featured each week, the pacing is lively. Students never know what's
coming next!
