What is Analytical Thinking?

An analytical thinker is one who does one or more of the following: analyzes classroom tasks, is unusually attentive to details, sees cause and effect relationships, takes apart and reassembles things or ideas with unusual skill, expresses relationships between past/present experiences, makes up or expands songs, stories and riddles about learning experiences and/or organizes collections of things.

(Kingore)

Analysis involves the breaking down of a complex whole into parts. By understanding the parts and the relationships between the parts, the underlying structure of the complex whole can be understood better.

(2005 Maker and Shriever)

Page 7: Welcome to Irwin’s K-1 LI/TD PLC! October 15, 2012.

Where Does Analytical Thinking

Fit Into the Curriculum?Let’s make connections to the Common Core…

Page 8: Welcome to Irwin’s K-1 LI/TD PLC! October 15, 2012.

Analytical Thinking: Rigor and Relevance

The Common Core already asks students to think analytically in many cases.

When teachers and parents approach lesson planning, projects and homework with Analytical Thinking in mind, we can ensure the scaffolding of lessons to include the highest levels of thinking.

Analytical Thinking opportunities should also be rigorous and relevant!

What Does Analytical Thinking

Look Like for Students?

Let’s check out some examples…

Page 14: Welcome to Irwin’s K-1 LI/TD PLC! October 15, 2012.

What Does it Look Like? Solves abstract math problems. Able to predict outcomes based on previous

experiences. Forms associations across time and disciplines

within a topic of study. Retains details from observation and can write

or tell what they have experienced. Compares and contrasts ideas, characters,

objects, etc. Take things/ideas apart to examine how they

work. Writes stories with a problem/solution

relationship. Alternative solutions, outcomes are discussed

and evaluated.Kingore, B. (2001) The Kingore Observation Inventory. 2nd ed. Austin: Professional Associates Publishing

Page 15: Welcome to Irwin’s K-1 LI/TD PLC! October 15, 2012.

What Does it Look Like?

Asks, “what might happen if…” Make rules and discuss reasoning about

categorizations and classifications. Chooses a problem solving strategy based

on the problem and explain reasoning. Reaches “big ideas” based on details or

examples. Generalizes theme based on reading

selected stories. Creates original songs, stories or riddles

that shows understanding of the whole idea/topic/theme after having examined and studied the details/parts of the whole.

What Strategies Promote

Analytical Thinking?

Check out these strategies ..

Page 21: Welcome to Irwin’s K-1 LI/TD PLC! October 15, 2012.

K-2 Strategies Math:

Demonstrates complex AND abstract thinking: solving multi-step story problems, solving story problems that require students to utilize and integrate multiple skills, correctly solving higher-level story problems

Generalizes from only a few examples: creates their own similar math problems or puzzles that have been modeled

Unusually attentive to details: shows all work to explain thinking, includes labels for pictures or diagrams, successfully solves problems that involve trial and error or guess and check

Thinks logically and uses problem solving strategies effectively: flexibility with problem solving strategies (draw a picture, use logical reasoning, make an organized list, create a table, etc…)

Page 22: Welcome to Irwin’s K-1 LI/TD PLC! October 15, 2012.

K-2 Strategies

Writing: Is unusually attentive to details: Includes many

details (sequential order to describe a process) Analyzes cause and effect, consequences, or

alternatives: Suppose…, If… If, then.. Writes alternate endings to known stories, Question stems with consequences/implications

Creates songs, stories, or riddles related to the learning experience: Expresses their ideas in multiple formats

Organizes collections or ideas in unique ways:

Page 23: Welcome to Irwin’s K-1 LI/TD PLC! October 15, 2012.

K-2 Strategies Reading:

Is unusually attentive to details: can recall specific key information from text

Demonstrates complex and abstract thinking: Analyzes cause and effect, consequences, or

alternatives: understands cause and effect relationships, considers alternatives, successfully creates multi-flow maps to show cause and effect relationships, analyzes consequences of character actions or events in the text

Generalizes from only a few examples: Can identify theme and concepts from selections and within multiple selections
