A great resource for secondary school students to help them think reflectively and promote higher-order thinking skills in any subject. This learning mat summarises the 6 thinking hats, defining them for pupils and giving them ideas on how they can apply them to the work or activity they’re completing.
In my practice at schools I’ve had my students keep these learning mats on their desk whilst they are completing their work (especially group work, writing and critical thinking tasks), often encouraging them to consult them in order to get more thoughtful responses from. them.
