Thinking tools are the strategies or scaffolding through which students can access the curriculum. They can be defined as artificial devices that have been developed specifically to improve children's thinking by:

focusing their attention (visually) on an issue that needs to be resolved offering immediate feedback through seeing their ideas on paper seeing the big picture making new connections analysing complex situations explaining relationships between concepts developing new thinking skills producing a larger number of possible solutions making informed choices constructing new knowledge creating new ideas and products.

In this exciting resource, author Ralph Pirozzo offers an introduction to teachers to the world of thinking tools, covering a range of different tools for different tasks, and directing teachers as to how to choose the most appropriate tool for each. Transform your school into a thinking school with this helpful guide.
