Description
Word analogies are one of the most effective ways to build vocabulary while simultaneously developing critical thinking skills. Unlike vocabulary activities that require students to memorize word definitions, word analogies develop a deep understanding of a word meaning by exploring the relationships between words. When students form logical connections between words, they create a mental network of ideas, which deepens understanding and increases retention. While solving word analogies, students are contextualizing the words as they search for word relationships.
When students work with analogies, they…
•expand and deepen their vocabulary.
•understand the relationships between ideas and words.
•recognize and understand multiple-meaning words.
•think critically and apply logical reasoning.
•learn to decipher word meanings based on context.
•build a network of understanding that improves retention and aids future learning.
When complete, this bundle will include:
This bundle includes everything outlined below for grades 7-10. It is PACKED with materials that will allow you to effectively use word analogies with your students. You will be provided with tools to break down word analogies in a scaffolded manner so that your students are successful from the very beginning. There are several versions of the materials included which will allow you to perfectly differentiate to meet the needs of your students.

A very helpful resource
This resource is helpful to review previously learned skills for my 4th grade students. It also helps me determine which skills I need to reteach.
Very Useful!
I teach 5th grade but have found that I spend a great deal of time reviewing 4th grade skills students forgot before we can even touch on our grade level concepts. I used most of these pages to help review the skills and made a booklet for the students. I just wish there was a version that did not have page numbers on them so I can put them in the order that supports our grade level curriculum.
Very Useful
I really enjoy this resource and the students are having fun taking notes on it. It covers everything we teach for 5th grade. I just wish there was a version that did not have page numbers on them. I ordered the pages so it follows along with our curriculum and made a booklet for the kids but the numbers already on them don't align to this order.
Helpful, but has not been added to lately
When can we expect the Decimal Operations doodle pages?
These are so much fun, and look so inviting in the student binders. I really want to keep using them because they are terrific.
Hello, Lauren. This is a growing bundle. The price will increase each time I add more sketch notes. Previous buyers will get all new units that I add for free. The price is based on the current material included in the bundle. Buyers are not promised future materials because this bundle is priced according to current value.
Good for guided work
I bought these for homework for my 4th graders and I think I need to work with them on a couple first to teach them how to answer some of the questions. Some are worded in a confusing way but others are great and hit the standards well. I do like that some of the topics align with our reading program topics but not in the same order which means sometimes I have to cross out questions that relate to a previous one we haven't done yet. Overall though I find it beneficial.

The 8th grade version will not allow me to print copies without the answers?
Hello, Jerome. You should be able to select the pages you want to print, rather than printing the entire file.
If you're still experiencing issues, please contact TpT so they can troubleshoot this with you directly. https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Contact
I purchased yesterday and I am having issue locating the google classroom version which has the google forms quiz. The teacher page says that is included.
Hello! They are in the PDF files for each grade level, around page 271.
Hello, One last question. Is this the middle school level? What is the difficulty level? are they useful for standardized tests? when you say 7th, 8, 9th grade does the complexity grow in the list of words you used?
Yes, this would be from middle school to early high school. The words and the relationships presented in the analogies get more challenging at each level. If the standardized test includes vocabulary-specific tasks, then these could be helpful. It just depends on the test.
Hi I am looking for analogies for my child who is preparing for standardized test middle school level that has analogies. Are these useful? how can I practically use them because they seem to be 1000 pages, it will be tough to print/navigate. Do you have a different version? TIA
Hello Chaitanya! Thanks for reaching out. The page count is high because it contains several versions of the same content. The multiple versions allow various levels of support for the students. Once you see the version that best fits your child, you can just print that. I also include Google Form versions if you'd like to avoid printing altogether.
Hi--Is there a 5-6-7-8 bundle for middle school?
Laura
Hi there! We have two bundles for Analogies. This one and for grades 3-6. Unfortunately, we don't have other bundles for these. We do have a Build Your Own Bundle option on our off-site store that you can check out here: https://teacherthrive.com/byob/
Thanks
Hi Kimberly! The links are located toward the end of each PDF. The Table of Contents for each PDF will specify the exact pages.
I cannot open the Word/PDF file. I can open the powerpoint. Can you send them to me in a different format/way?

Not to worry. Please contact TpT so they can troubleshoot this with you directly. https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Contact
Are any of the analogies in this product copied from your Get to the Root of It-book 1 and book 2 products?
Hi Kim! No, they are all completely different.
Would you consider doing a middle school bundle for grades 6-9? Thank you!
Hi Donna! In order to avoid confusion and prevent duplicate purchases, I’ll only be offering the two bundles (3-6 and 7-10). Thank you for your interest.
