Activities That Improve Student Critical Thinking
Critical thinking is perhaps the most important skill we need. It is paramount not just for job success but also for making the best decisions in crucial life matters.
As an educator, you should explain to your students that almost all our mistakes can be attributed to a lack of critical thinking. You can pick just about any big blunder you made in the past. You will invariably find that it transpired because of a failure to think critically.
Remember, the best thing you can do as a teacher is to inculcate a strong sense of critical thinking in your students.
Here are the activities that will help students to develop critical thinking.
Discuss Cognitive Biases
There are myriad cognitive biases.
The fact of the matter is we succumb to these biases at some point in our lives. Hence, it pays to study these biases.
You can pick those biases you think are the most detrimental and insidious. You should then explain them to your students to learn to identify and avoid these biases.
Perhaps the most dangerous bias by far is the Optimism bias. It may sound rather innocuous because of the word ‘optimism’. However, it is far more sinister in reality.
Optimism bias tends to think that bad things won't happen to us - they will happen to others only. For example, many think they won't suffer a fatal car crash. Hence, some get involved in overspeeding and texting while driving despite knowing their perils. No wonder these two reckless acts are the main reasons for fatal car crashes.
Writing About Biases
After elucidating various biases and providing simple examples to help them grasp these concepts, you can instruct your students to write about adverse events in their lives when they succumbed to these biases.
What did you learn? What were the consequences? These are further questions you can ask.
Talking about one’s mistakes is never easy. It is hard to concede that we are wrong at times. However, if we want to become better human beings and find success, we must learn from our mistakes. But the first step entails admitting one’s mistakes.
This will also instill humility and reduce overconfidence.
Avoiding Biases – The Easy Way
All biases and ensuring blunders are avoidable with one simple trick.
It just takes one word to get smarter – “why”. That is, you should question everything. As simple as that.
In particular, you should question all that you do and think.
Write it down first whenever you are about to take action or form an opinion about something. Then in front of it, just write “why?” You can then brainstorm and write for and against the idea in logical points.
If you make this a regular habit, you will avoid many mistakes and regrets. You will also maximize positive returns from your decisions.
Explain It to a 6-Year Old
This is something that can greatly benefit students in their academic endeavors.
We are inclined to think that we understand what has been just said. But just nodding along is not enough. You should be able to explain it to others.
The good news is that this goes far beyond altruism. In truth, it is self-empowerment. When you explain an abstruse concept to others, you bolster your own understanding of the same. Reiterating something embeds it more deeply into your long-term memory.
The social factor may also be beneficial and fruitful.
Do Your Research
Teach students to challenge common perceptions and conventional wisdom.
Explain carefully that this entails walking a fine line. You don't want to be dismissive, nor do you want to be naive. Instead, you should have an open mind and a willingness to do your research carefully.
Inform students about consulting reliable online sources. Explain that it is best to consider multiple authentic sources. Don't be satisfied with just the first entry in Google search results.
Here's how you can instill the importance of research in your students.
Instruct your students to research air pollution in the US. Those who do their research more meticulously will find that indoor air pollution is far deadlier than outdoor air pollution.
Tell them that they found out this key health fact courtesy of research. You can further instruct them to find ways of mitigating these risks.
Motivate your students to do research by telling them that they will be pleasantly surprised at the wealth of knowledge that they can uncover via dedicated research.
Beware of Disinformation
Disinformation is ubiquitous these days. It has become a weapon of choice for bad actors ranging from rogue states to unscrupulous individuals.
Critical thinking can help dispel misinformation and prevent you from becoming its victim.
You should help kids to detect and deal with weapons of mass distraction.
There was a time when fake news was disseminated largely via social media.
It is being spread by state-sponsored groups masquerading as legitimate media outlets on the internet. The scope and scale of these fake news campaigns are staggering to say the least.
One such fake news campaign involved no less than 750 fake sites posing as media outlets. Disinformation from this notorious racket reached millions around the globe and even found its way to UN and European Parliament meetings.
You can instruct kids in your class to do a project on internet disinformation, complete with case studies. You should also tell them to write about all possible ways to spot fakes and scams.
Bottom Line
Shown above are the activities to develop critical thinking in students.
You might agree that cultivating this key ability in your students is one of the best things you did for them.

Description and Features
This highly-effective, standards-based, 168-page book is a research-based instructional program that teaches beyond most state and Common Core standards by:
- Improving children's observation and description skills
- Developing academic vocabulary
- Developing thinking skills that underlie content learning (describing/defining, identifying similarities and differences, sequencing, and classifying)
- Improving students' understanding of key concepts in mathematics, social studies, and science
- Students completing structured exercises to write sentences and paragraphs
- Carefully sequencing lessons to develop thinking skills
- Employing language integration techniques to teach thinking skills and key concepts
Academic Vocabulary Development The program builds academic vocabulary using these important concepts: describe, compare and contrast, and classify shapes, position, land forms, bodies of water, living and non-living things, food, animals, family members, jobs, vehicles, and places. Observation Skills Observation lessons involve concrete examples using detailed photographs to develop observation skills. The student book provides activities that students may use to clarify their thinking and learning by peer and class discussion. Spatial Thinking Skills • Describing Shapes – naming shapes, finding shapes to match a description, describing characteristics of a shape • Similarities and Differences – matching and combining shapes, producing equal figures, figure completion • Sequences – recognizing and producing the next figure in a sequence • Classification – classifying by shape and/or color, forming classes, depicting overlapping classes • Using positional and directional words
Verbal Thinking Skills • Describing – matching a picture to a description, describing people, animals, or objects shown in pictures, part/whole analysis • Similarities and Differences – selecting similar people, animals, or objects, explaining similarities and differences • Sequences – ranking objects or people by a significant characteristic • Classifications – explaining characteristics of a class, exceptions, sorting into classes • Analogies – naming the kind of analogy or completing the analogy
Mental Models This book teaches the characteristics outlined in its mental models needed to describe or define a concept. How We Know It Works • Increased scores on language proficiency and cognitive abilities tests • Increased scores on normed or criterion-referenced achievement tests • Proficient student writing • Increased number of students placed in advanced classes and subsequent successful performance
Teaching Support This student book can be used with a free, downloadable, answer PDF ( get it here ) or with a detailed, 224-page Teacher's Manual which can be purchased separately . The Teacher's Manual provides instructions to teach the lessons using research-proven methods that promote students' thinking: direct instruction, cooperative learning, whole sentence responding, and language integration activities. The Teacher's Manual physical book is in black and white, but the eBook version is in color.

Table of Contents
Critical thinking is making decisions about what to believe or do , which is reasonable and introspective. It is founded on fundamental intellectual principles, including relevance, soundness, accuracy, precision, consistency, depth, breadth, and justice.
See the fact file below for more information on Critical Thinking , or you can download our 28-page Critical Thinking worksheet pack to utilize within the classroom or home environment.
Key Facts & Information
Activities requiring critical thinking.
- Assessing Online Media and Historical Sources. It is the practice of questioning the truthfulness of media to identify disinformation and misinformation.
- Business Process Improvement. It is a practice in which leaders examine their business processes to find opportunities to increase accuracy, effectiveness, and efficiency.
- Strategic Planning. It is a process where leaders develop their future vision and set their organization’s goals and objectives.
- Root Cause Analysis. It is the process of identifying the underlying causes of issues to find suitable solutions.
- Performance Management. It is the ongoing process of enhancing performance through setting individual and team goals that are in line with the organizational strategy.
CHARACTERISTICS OF A CRITICAL THINKER
- Curious. One of the most important aspects of critical thinking is curiosity. According to research, our desire for knowledge propels us to constantly seek out new information. This curiosity fosters critical thinking since, in order to make wise decisions, we must constantly increase our knowledge.
- Analytical . Analytical skills are necessary since research is a key element of critical thinking. Analytical thinking entails distilling complicated concepts into their most basic components.
- Introspective. Critical thinking requires introspection since it makes us more self-aware. Self-awareness pushes us to confront our own prejudices, biases, and selfish impulses. If we know our assumptions, we can question them and suspend judgment until we have all the facts.
- Making Inferences. It is making logical conclusions based on an examination of the facts, events, and ideas available. You can find relationships and base your decisions on what is likely to happen by analyzing the information that is available and noticing patterns and trends.
- Observant. Using all five senses, observation is more than just looking; it also entails synthesizing, organizing, and categorizing data to create insight. Sharp observers pick up on the smallest detail and detect subtle changes in their surroundings.
- Open-minded and Compassionate. Being open-minded entails giving other concepts and viewpoints a chance, even when they disagree with your own. This enables you to consider several perspectives on a subject without instinctively rejecting them. Likewise, even when they disagree, compassionate people can understand others. Finding common ground and understanding is possible when you comprehend the views of another individual.
LOGIC: CRITICAL THINKING
- Logic is the study of inference, reasoning, and proof. Using logic, we can assess a line of reasoning or a thought to see if it is sound or not.
- Propositions , often known as statements, serve as the foundation of a logical argument. A proposition is a statement that can either be true or false.
- An argument is a connected set of statements that together form a logical, coherent, and defined proposition.
- The premise identifies the reasons or pieces of evidence that support your claim. At this point, we create a new assertion based on one or more accepted statements of fact, which is the inference . Lastly, a statement that wraps up an argument is its conclusion . The validity of the premises statement and the inference statement confirm the validity or truth of the argument.
EXAMPLES OF A LOGICAL THOUGHT
- Statement: Individuals under 18 years of age are not eligible to vote. Ryan cannot vote because he’s just 15 years old.
- Premise 1: Individuals under 18 cannot vote.
- Premise 2: Ryan is 15 years old.
- Conclusion: Ryan is not eligible to vote.
CRITICAL THINKING BARRIERS
Egocentric thinking.
- A natural tendency of people is to see everything in terms of oneself, which is known as egocentric thinking – “ego” meaning self, and “centric” meaning at the center. This way of thinking makes it difficult to understand other people’s viewpoints or examine and weigh other points of view.
- This can produce poor decision-making behaviors. In order to break the cycle, people must take a position against the group and contest prevailing ideas.
DRONE MENTALITY
- This refers to a lack of awareness of your immediate surroundings. Daily routines can prevent or contribute to the loss of critical thinking skills and frequently result in a drone mindset.
SOCIAL CONDITIONING
- Unwanted preconceptions and stereotypes bring it on. It does this by obstructing our ability to see that we are even developing assumptions and imposing stereotypes.
BIASED THINKING
- Personal biases can make it difficult to think critically because they make it difficult to be impartial, curious, and open-minded.
SCHEDULE PRESSURES
- Integrating learning opportunities that encourage critical thinking skills is sometimes hampered by time restraints.
ARROGANCE AND INTOLERANCE
- With a narrow perspective, it is quite difficult to come up with the appropriate solution to a problem. People who lack critical thinking abilities frequently respond to situations carelessly and foolishly.
ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS
- The process of locating the underlying causes of problems in order to choose the best solutions is known as root cause analysis (RCA). RCA bases its premise on the idea that systematic prevention and root-cause analysis yield superior results than spot-treating symptoms and “putting out fires”.
- Benefits and Goals. Finding the underlying cause of a problem or incident is the first objective of root cause analysis. The second objective is to completely comprehend how to address, make up for, or take advantage of any underlying problems inside the root cause. The final objective is to use the knowledge gained from this research to duplicate or systematically prevent past problems.
BASIC TYPES OF CAUSES
- Physical Causes. These are tangible, material things that failed in some way, like a machine failing to function as expected.
- People Causes. People either made a mistake or failed to take the necessary action. Usually, physical causes result from human causes (for example, no one filled the machine with engine oil, which led to its malfunction).
- Organizational Causes. A broken system, procedure, or policy affects how people make decisions or carry out their daily tasks (for example, no one person was responsible for machine maintenance, and everyone assumed someone else had filled the engine oil).
ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS PROCESS
- Step 1: Define The Problem. Define the issue you are dealing with, then collect the information and proof you need to understand the situation at hand. Make a problem statement that includes details about the issue, such as the impact that the issue has already had or could have, its focal point, etc.
- Step 2: Data Collection. The collection of key information about an incident or a problematic event is a critical step in root cause analysis. You can find the answers to questions like “What are the contributing factors?” by recording all the details and characteristics of the incident. Also ask questions like “When did the issue start?” “Is it a recurring occurrence?” “What effect has been noticed?” etc.
- Step 3: Determine Potential Causal Factors. Find as many causal factors as you can at this point. It’s all too common for people to name one or two variables before stopping, but that’s often insufficient. When using RCA, you should look beyond the visible reasons and treat the underlying issues as well.
- Step 4: Identify the Root Cause. You can pinpoint as many causes as you can. Use the methods like the 5 Whys, Fishbone analysis, or a Pareto chart to focus in on the main contributing elements and any potential underlying causes of the problem.
- Step 5: Recommend and Implement Solutions. Analyze your cause-and-effect connection and determine which systems require adjustments. Planning ahead will help you anticipate the outcomes of your solution. In this manner, possible faults can be identified before they occur.

Tips to Improve Critical Thinking Skills with 1st Grade Math Word Problems
Last Updated on May 31, 2022 by Thinkster
Developing critical thinking skills with math word problems is incredibly important. Students should move beyond simple rote memorization and fact-finding to understand the thought process and concept behind those facts.
In doing so, students are developing strong thinking skills that can help them become successful lifelong learners.
In elementary school, first grade math word problems are a great place to start teaching critical thinking strategies.
Here are some tips to help your first grader think through word problems with a critical mind.
Create a Plan
To be a strong critical thinker, your child needs to take the time to plan and strategize before tackling a problem.
You can teach your child to do this by having her read the problem, then dissect what it is asking.
She can then underline the important information in the problem and create a picture or diagram to represent what the problem is asking.
This ensures that he is taking the steps to carefully outline and identify what the problem is asking.
Teaching these steps early on is also incredibly important, as your child will face multi-step problems and ones with distractors in the future.
Ask “Why?”
One of the keys to critical thinking in math is being able to not just do the problem, but also to explain why.
In first grade math word problems, the “why” is often quite simple to identify, but you should still be asking.
Find out why the child chose to count, add or subtract. Have him explain his reasoning in his own words and help him write it down. Then, talk about how he came to that conclusion, encouraging him to continue to think about the problem and his steps for solving it.
Ask “Does It Make Sense?”
Most first grade math word problems are fairly clear in what they are asking the child to do, and your child should stop and reflect on his answer to see if it makes sense.
For example, if the problem creates a scenario where a person has a certain amount of an item and someone gives him more, the answer should be a larger number than he started with, which you would get by adding. If the child chose to subtract, the answer will be smaller than what you started with.
Use an online math program, like Thinkster, to help with math word problems
Critical thinking is a crucial component of Thinkster Math’s curriculum .
