How to Leverage Critical Thinking Challenges to Your Advantage

by Brain Ninjas

Students need opportunities to try critical thinking in a fun and safe way. They should be encouraged to explore, rethink, design, test and learn. We try to create lessons and activities that encourage critical thinking and problem solving. Come learn what we do!

What do you do when you want to challenge students, but you also want them to learn? We give them critical thinking challenges. Critical thinking requires many skills-problem solving, collaboration, design thinking, and perseverance. When a critical thinking question is carefully crafted, you can get students to explore learning outcomes while having fun and being engaged in their learning at the same time.

What You’ll Learn: classroom setup and management strategies, how to design challenges that align with learning outcomes, the five essential elements of a successful critical thinking challenge, and seven ready-made challenge sets with materials and lesson plans.
