Importance
• SCIENCE
![Page 3: Critical thinking in math and science powerpoint](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042700/5595b1821a28abf73d8b486c/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Critical Thinking
• Science needs Analyzing, Reasoning, and Problem Solving skills.
• Math needs to produce Evaluating and Problem Solving skills.

Incorporating Critical Thinking into Math

Problem Solving
• “How many apples are left?”
• “What time did the trains pass each other?”
• “How much change did the clerk have to give the customer?”

Graphs and Charts
• Graphs can create a visual understanding of data
• Charts such as pie charts can likewise simplify data and create a better understanding.

Real Life Experience
• Finding real world applicable reasons for math
• Relating to a students interest are key
• Interest level has to be stimulated

Incorporating Critical Thinking into Science
![Page 9: Critical thinking in math and science powerpoint](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042700/5595b1821a28abf73d8b486c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Visibility
• Models are an effective way of conceptualizing
• Creating models assesses a students understanding

Analogies
• Analogies can be effective ways of “connecting the dots” for students
• Analogies can also create an interest level for the student by having something to relate to.

Project Based Learning
• Projects designed for learning are effective ways of developing critical thinking
• Again a visual representation of an event can be conducive to learning
