: Activities to help students develop three important elements of critical thinking in mathematics: recognizing patterns, using visual imagery, and logical reasoning. Pattern activities — working as detectives to discern mystery numbers and numerical patterns Imagery activities — using the imagination to explore symmetry, congruence, rotation, part-whole relations, similarity, mapping Logic problems — finding winning strategies, applying deductive logic, solving number sentences, and classifying by attributes.
