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.

AMAZING
I love your stuff but I feel like these have a lot of errors. We have only done four and found errors on two. For example on #3 there is not enough information to solve this. There is no way to tell if the small rhombus or the hexagon is the shape out of frame. I need something that I can leave my son with and I don’t need to be helping or correcting instructions. Was hoping to get money back so I can try you fractions or something else.
Hello! I am not sure which other errors you are referring to, but clue 4 on card 3 (The quadrilaterals are not adjacent to each other.) would exclude the small rhombus from being in the frame. Please email me if you have any questions. GotToTeach@icloud.com
The material compiles different uses of Tangram, mostly known
Material is interesting, but mainly based on task cards and problem activities. Being a bundle, I was expecting more instructional strategies, evaluation rubrics, etc.
A wonderful product overall. I do wish it had introductory lessons to teach each Language strand or skill to students and a weekly quiz or test for students to take to monitor their progress.
