Critical thinking is the ability to think objectively and rationally. It entails the ability to engage in reflective and independent thinking. Thinking critically involves the following:

• understanding the logical connections between ideas
• identifying, constructing and evaluating arguments
• identifying inconsistencies in reasoning
• solving problems in a systemic manner
• identifying the relevance and value of ideas
• reflecting on the explanations of beliefs and values

Here there are some materials that can be used by teachers/educators when working with young learners in improving their critical thinking skills.
