What are the Extended Thinking Skills? Abstracting Comparing/Contrasting Classifying/Categorizing Constructing Support Analyzing Perspective Inductive Reasoning Deductive Reasoning Error Analysis Learning Units Can you identify each part of a Learning Unit? What does each color represent? Acquisition Culminating Activity Test Activating Extended Thinking EQ: How can I extend my students thinking through Classification? What is Classifying? Remember $25,000 Pyramid? Let's Watch! Now It’s your turn to give it a try!!! Things you stir Things that wander Things put on with a brush Things in a basket Classifying is the process by which we organize things into groups on the basis of their attributes CLASSIFY rank sort attributes group order organize hoose the items to classify ist the attributes of an item sk if there are other items like it tate the rule for the category elect another item and its attributes and identify others like it dentify the rule for the new category ind other categories until all items are classified ou might need to combine or split up categories How to Classify… 1. Choose the item to classify Candy bars!!!! How to Classify… 2. List the attributes of an item 1. Chocolate 2. Peanut Butter 3. Multiple pieces How to Classify… 3. Ask if there are other items like it 1. Chocolate 2. Peanut Butter 3. Multiple pieces How to Classify… 4. State the rule for the category *Candy bars made of chocolate, peanut butter, and multiple pieces How to Classify… 5. List the attributes of another item 1. Chocolate 2. Caramel 3. Nougat How to Classify… 6. Ask if there are other items like it 1. Chocolate 2. Caramel 3. Nougat How to Classify… 7.

Inductive reasoning is inferring unknown generalizations from information or observations. INDUCTIVE REASONING valid hypothesis observation inferring logical assumption Inductive Reasoning Questions: What does this information tell you? What is a likely conclusion? How did you reach that conclusion? Let‘s watch!!! YouTube - A Lesson In Logic Steps in Inductive Reasoning 1. Focus on specific pieces of information or observations. 2. Do not assume anything. 3. Look for patterns or connections in the identified information. 4. Make a general statement that explains the observed pattern. 5. Make additional observations to see if the generalization holds up. If not, change the generalization.

EQ: How can abstracting be used to extend student thinking about content? EQ: How can abstracting be added to an EATS lesson? What is Abstracting? What’s the relationship between or among words or concepts? Let’s try a few: IRON: ANEMIC as WATER: _____________ (caustic, dehydrated, humidified, flowing) See how you do ANGLE : POLYGON as RAY : __________________ (point, line, circle, arc) COUNTY : NEW YORK as PARISH : _____________________ (priest, church, Louisiana, Colombia) SOUTH AMERICA : PAMPAS as NORTH AMERICA : _______________ (Rockies, states, prairies, borders) SONAR : SOUND WAVES as RADAR : ______________________ (light waves, telegraphy, electromagnetic waves, broadcasting) Here are a few more WELDER : TORCH as PAPERER : ______________ (glue, staples, wall, sponge) DYNE : FORCE as _____________: LOUDNESS (amp, minute, sone, din) DICKENS : PIP as ______________: FANTINE (Eliot, Thackeray, Austen, Hugo) NIXON : AGNEW as EISENHOWER : ____________________ (Kennedy, Truman, Dulles, Nixon) Abstracting is the process of finding, identifying, and explaining general patterns in specific information, and applying this information to a new situation. ABSTRACTING pattern relationship generalize order specific associate How can abstracting help improve student achievement? Being able to recognize patterns is a foundational skill for most subject areas. Patterns help us to organize and use information more easily. This process helps build connections between different sets of information, deepening our understanding of both sets of information. How is this accomplished? Abstracting enables us to compare and contrast types of information, even though they may not seem similar at all. Comparing unfamiliar or new with something familiar, we can… • improve communication • deepen comprehension • provide insight to the recipient Steps in the process 1. Identify what is considered important information 2. Write the information in a more general form – Replacing specific words with more general things – Summarize information whenever possible 3. Find new information or situations where the pattern applies Graphic Organizer: ABSTRACTING First Example Pattern Second Example ABSTRACTING: Money & Food First Example Pattern Second Example Money comes in Something comes in different denominations different forms There are many forms of food Some money is worth more than others Some foods are more nutritious than others Some forms are more valuable than others Money can be combined in different ways to get the same amount ? ? Money is exchanged for goods and services ? ? ABSTRACTING: Money & Food First Example Pattern Second Example Money comes in Something comes in different denominations different forms There are many forms of food Some money is worth more than others Some forms are more valuable than others Some foods are more nutritious than others Money can be combined in different ways to get the same amount Different combinations result in the same outcome Different combinations of food can provide the same nutritional value Money is exchanged for goods and services Something is exchanged Food is exchanged for for something else energy Let’s Practice!
