Description
Ever wonder how to use tangrams to foster children's natural creative and critical-thinking skills while infusing all the core content areas? Take a journey with Grandfather Tang's Story and see how it can be done. As classroom instruction becomes more data-driven, opportunities to utilize manipulatives to encourage "out-of-the-box" thinking have been minimized. This prohibits the enhancement of right brain creativity. Participants leave with a collection of effective strategies to add to their toolbox to encourage their students to use their own language to explain and build new ideas and solutions.
