Early Thinking Skills Practice for Year 3

This Excel workbook develops the reasoning and problem-solving skills Year 3 students need for the thinking skills section of Opportunity Class tests.

Sharon Dalgleish, Tanya Dalgleish and Hamish McLean wrote the updated test edition to sharpen analytical thinking early. Children learn to process information and solve problems accurately, practise the mental steps behind different question types, and become familiar with the latest OC formats so the real test feels less uncertain. Lessons stay short and focused.

Eighteen thinking skills are broken into short, focused lessons, followed by ten sample tests in the style of the actual test. Hints and strategies explain how to tackle tough questions, and detailed answers give immediate feedback. Children can build confidence one skill at a time before the tests.

Pair it with other educational books in the Excel range, browse our educational activity books for more puzzles, and add pencils from our school writing supplies. Parents can set a lesson or test each week.
