This program is an attempt to promote thinking skills instruction. The activities relate to materials which will proliferate critical and creative thinking and problem-solving skills for all children in our schools. The activities featured in this tutorial are appropriate for all student populations.

When a student is asked to "invent" a solution to a problem, the student must draw upon previous knowledge, skills, and experience. The student also recognises areas where new learnings must be acquired in order to understand or address the problem. This information must then be applied, analysed, synthesised, and evaluated.
