Minds in Bloom is so very pleased to welcome Heidi Raki, of Raki’s Rad Resources, who will share some terrific ideas for using hands-on projects to promote critical and creative thinking.
All too often, math and science concepts are taught from a book. Students read some words, look at some pictures, try some equations, and are expected to think about the problem at hand in critical and creative ways. However, many of the students do not gain an understanding of the concept this way, so they do not have the critical thinking going on to understand, let alone answer, higher level thinking questions.

What great ideas! I love to find ways to help the kids be more creative. Glad I found your blog! 🙂 I think we share the same philosophy for challenging those little ones!
