Resources for delivering a hexagonal thinking lesson on the topic of ‘The Water Cycle’. You can use it as a tool for assessing the depth of children’s understanding or as a fun activity to do at the end of the unit. It could also be used at the start to assess children’s prior knowledge.
Hexagonal thinking is a creative mode for discussion that allows learners to think about concepts and connections in a different way.
Students make connections between the keywords on the hexagons and then justify the connections they make. This is a great way to support student
collaboration, as students discuss and justify their decisions, learning from each other. As the teacher, these conversations and justifications can be used to assess understanding.
