Developing Critical Thinking Through Mathematics
LoiLo Thinking Tool Activities, based on IM® v.360, are supplemental resources designed to build critical thinking through mathematics. Created using materials authored by Illustrative Mathematics®, these interactive tools help students deeply understand concepts rather than just memorize them. All activities are seamlessly integrated into the "LoiLoNote" interactive lesson platform.

Overview
True understanding occurs when students connect new ideas with existing knowledge. This is especially crucial in mathematics, where success depends on grasping concepts rather than memorizing facts.
Our Thinking Tool Activities focus on the moment when students develop their own thinking. Through daily practice of structured thinking routines, students become active problem solvers who can:
Apply concepts to new situations
Explain their reasoning clearly
Tackle unfamiliar challenges with confidence
We transform IM® v.360 activities into interactive learning experiences where students don't just learn math—they learn how to think mathematically. The result? Students who develop both strong mathematical understanding and valuable critical thinking skills they can use every day.
