Higher-Order Thinking Teaching Resources

Use this collection of resources when teaching students higher-order thinking skills. Higher-order thinking is the ability to think beyond just memorizing facts or knowledge. Memory recall is not really thinking. Higher order thinking skills involve actually doing something with the facts that we learn. When students use their higher order thinking skills that means they understand, they can find connections between many facts, they can manipulate them, and put them together in new ways. Most importantly they can apply them to find new solutions to problems.
