Critical And Creative Thinking Activities, Grade 2 - By Evan-Moor
Sample Pages

The relationship between critical and creative thought can be misunderstood. But in fact, profound thinking requires both imagination and intellectual ideas. To produce excellence in thinking we need to engage our children in a curriculum that overlaps the logical and the imaginative side of thinking.

Forty-Six Units
Critical and Creative Thinking Activities' forty-six theme-based units will give your child lots of practice thinking in a variety of ways. From brainteasers and logic puzzles to mazes, Venn diagrams, and secret codes, Critical and Creative Thinking Activities has a wealth of mind-boggling activities that your child will enjoy.

Logical Thinking, Problems Solving...
Exercises include thinking fluency, originality, generalizing, patterning, and problem solving. Every lesson is based on grade-appropriate themes and is correlated to state standards. Published by a secular company, Critical and Creative Thinking Activities may include a unit or two that might not be appropriate for all families. Imagination and reason function best in tandem, and Critical and Creative Thinking Activities delivers just that.
