Critical thinking is an essential skill that is easily overlooked in today’s test focused school environment but their importance should never be underestimated. Critical thinking and logic skills provide the solid foundation necessary for all thinking. Whether you are taking a test, figuring out a word problem, making a decision or doing research critical thinking makes you a more effecient and all around better thinker and learner.
These cute animated videos were developed to teach 8-11 year olds the basics of critical thinking and logic but can serve as a good introduction to the subject for anyone.
Enjoy!
