order information

Quick Thinking™ challenges can spark a class at the beginning, middle, or end of the day. Each book offers practical alternatives for discovering students' learning potential and encouraging their desire to learn. Quick Thinking™ challenges help teachers focus on the inner capability of every student.

Howard Gardner's multiple intelligence theory is incorporated in the extension activities for each challenge.

Because each challenge includes three or more extension activities, challenges can be as brief or extended as the teacher chooses.

Each book contains a clear description of critical/creative thinking skills and a list of helpful references.

Special Features: Quick Thinking™ challenges are organized into sections for five major subjects/areas: general knowledge, science, social studies, mathematics, and language arts. Each challenge includes extension activities that address multiple intelligences--

• verbal/linguistic,
• logical/mathematical,
• visual/spatial,
• body/kinesthetic,
• musical/rhythmic,
• interpersonal,
• and intrapersonal.
