Analogous thinking is already a part of many classrooms. The materials in this book transform that thinking into a focused and systematic program in the content areas. Analogies are being used successfully in kindergarten through twelfth grade in the Ridgewood, New Jersey, Public Schools. Teachers developed this curriculum to help students learn to solve problems and to think critically. The processes involved in solving analogies in the content areas empower students. Thinking analogically requires learners to: *acitively process information *make important connections *use information and skills to identify relationships *construct relationships and generate new knowledge *improve understanding and long-term memory.
