Critical Thinking Lesson Pack

What is Critical Thinking?

Critical thinking is defined as the objective analysis and evaluation of an issue in order to form a judgment. Whilst we hope all our students can develop this skill over time, it is now becoming more apparent that the need to educate our children as early as possible on these principles could have a profound impact on their lives as well as society in general.

What will children learn?

In this skill, students focus on the basics of critical thinking in a fun and engaging way. Here the students learn the scientific method to analyze information in order to make rational decisions.

They learn about the importance of:

evaluating claims through thinking filters,
testing hypotheses,
the impact of bias on our decision making.

Quite frankly, these lessons have never been more important for our future generations.

Inquiry based learning

Students enjoy a student-centered, engaging approach to the discovery and exploration of this skill.

Cross-curricular

Each lesson has cross curricular links as well as links to national objectives/standards allowing for seamless integration into your daily curriculum.
