Synopsis

Foster your fourth grader's critical thinking skills and see confidence soar with this engaging full-color workbook!

Children are naturally inquisitive from infancy, yet creative and problem-solving skills need to be nurtured as children grow. Like reading and math skills, critical thinking skills require practice.

The variety of fun and creative activities in Skill Sharpeners: Critical Thinking will challenge your child to use higher-order thinking skills based on Bloom's Taxonomy.

Every page provides a new and interesting activity that will help your child:

• Think outside the box and use higher-order thinking skills through open-ended questions and challenges
• Tap into his or her creativity with art projects and hands-on activities
• Become a better learner by practicing critical thinking skills in cross-curricular activities (based on science, math, social studies, and language arts content)

The 100+ activities are organized around these 4th grade themes:

• Animals: Wild Cats; Ocean Animals
• Natural Forces: Rain, Snow, and Sun; Storms, Earthquakes, and Volcanoes
• Transportation: Walking and Riding; Wheels and Wings
• Places: At School and at the Library; The Supermarket and the Restaurant

Grade 4 activities include puzzles, word problems, riddles, and word games that involve critical thinking skills such as:

• Analyze
• Infer
• Visualize
• Solve
• Create, and more!

Plus, each page lists the critical thinking skill(s) so that you know what your child is practicing.
