Think About Series
Here’s a series of 12 card sets that are great fun—and full of serious challenges.
One of the hallmarks of a Tin Man Press product is that it’s “fair” to all children. That is, our activities do not require children to have a prior knowledge base about a specific item in order to do them.
This is certainly true of “Think Abouts.” Each card set has a familiar creature as its subject. Children will learn plenty about the creatures along the way— there are fact boxes sprinkled throughout. But the creatures are simply the jumping-off point for a variety of engaging thinking strategies.
“Think Abouts” are flexible. They’re designed to be self-directed— students work from the cards but do the work on their own paper. They also can be used as centers.
