The Critical Thinking Co.™ Announces New Math Analogies Series Three New Books for Grades K1, 2-3, and 4-5

Seaside, CA, April 17, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Understanding analogies and the ability to reason analogically (reasoning used to identify, evaluate, and solve an analogy) are important problem-solving-skills. Problem-solving is an essential part of mathematical development. These math analogy activities teach children to break problems down into their component parts, making it easier to recognize familiar formats that enable students to produce solutions.

The math analogies in these books ask your students to draw and verbalize their answers. The drawings develop fine motor skills and the verbalization develops communication skills. The analogies are designed around the grade-appropriate standards identified by the National Council of Teaching Mathematics.

Pricing and Availability
The retail price of each Math Analogies book is $11.99. The new titles are now available and may be purchased at more than 1,800 specialty teacher and home schooling retail stores, by calling 18004584849,
or by visiting www.criticalthinking.com.

Product and Assessment Specialist, Tim Sitar said, “These books present excellent test practice for achievement tests such as the Naglieri Nonverbal Ability Test (NNAT). While students think they are just solving fun puzzles, they will be doing serious thinking and building a basis for future experiences in critical thinking.”

These books are three of many new titles that will be released by The Critical Thinking Company in 2009. For a complete list of new products, visit www.criticalthinking.com/NewProducts.
