Thinking Maps

At Haumoana School we are learning to identify, understand and use Thinking Maps.  Thinking Maps® were developed as a language for learning in 1988 by Dr. David Hyerle. There are eight maps in this language that are used for reading comprehension, writing process problem solving, and thinking skills improvement.  In order for you to help your children, I will be posting some information about these Thinking Maps over the next few weeks.  Each Map has a purpose. http://www.mapthemind.com/thinkingmaps/thinkingmaps.html is a fantastic website to look at.
