These tasks cards allow students to deeply analyze any fiction and nonfiction reading material through 11 topics of critical thinking: Big Ideas, Rules, Trends, Patterns, Language of the Discipline, Ethics, Relationships Over Time, Details, Unanswered Questions, Across Disciplines, and Multiple Perspectives. You will appreciate the versatility of these task cards; they can be used with almost any text (novels, picture books, anthology stories, textbooks, etc.). This resource is applicable to many grade levels (4-10+) and can be easily adapted for the learners you work with.

Is there any chance you have some for math? Or more examples of how to use the thinking mats for math?

Teacher Thrive

Hi Amber! Sorry, but I don't have these for math.

In the preview, the samples include the depth and complexity icons. Will these still be included in my purchase?

Teacher Thrive

Hi Tonie! Sorry for the confusion. That preview was old and I have removed it. This version does not come with icons.

Holly Starcich

Are there task cards for 1st grade?

Teacher Thrive

Unfortunately, I only have them for upper grades and beyond.
