Thinking Skills

Unlock the potential of your mind with our Thinking Skills course, a dual-faceted program crafted to develop your cognitive abilities in both mathematical reasoning and critical thinking.

WEMT THINKING SKILLS
Thinking Skills Course

A variety of challenging problem-solving and critical thinking skills questions are covered in the course. Students build their ability to use knowledge, facts, and data to find a problem and its solution. Critical thinking questions will improve their ability to reason through an argument logically, draw a conclusion, assess a situation, recognise assumptions, and evaluate arguments.

THINKING SKILLS

The Critical Thinking Skills module is all about nurturing a questioning mind. Students will learn to evaluate arguments, identify logical fallacies, and construct well-reasoned conclusions. We encourage learners to think beyond the surface, to question, and to engage with ideas at a deeper level. This module goes beyond academic skills; it’s about fostering a lifelong ability to think clearly, reason effectively, and make informed decisions.

MATHEMATICAL REASONING

Delve into the world of mathematical logic with our Mathematical Reasoning module. This part of the course sharpens students’ abilities to dissect problems, recognize patterns, and apply mathematical principles to find solutions. From algebraic functions to geometric proofs, students will engage with a range of mathematical concepts through practical, real-world applications. Our curriculum is aligned with the NSW syllabus, ensuring that students are not only prepared for their current studies but also for any mathematical challenges they may encounter in the future.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Cyberschool?

The online educational platform, Cyberschool (www.cyberschool.com.au), is tailored for Pre-Uni New College primary students enrolled in foundation courses. This resource serves as a means for students to obtain supplementary assistance with their homework and review their prior classroom materials. The lessons are delivered by experienced and skilled teachers who have collaborated to design engaging, activity-oriented sessions for your child’s enjoyment. Access to the Cyberschool website is entirely complimentary for students currently enrolled at Pre-Uni New College.

What is S.O.Q?

S.O.Q (Special Online Quiz) comprises a set of review questions strategically created to motivate our students to revisit fundamental principles covered in earlier modules. Cyberschool offers four online quizzes during weeks 2, 4, 6, and 8 of the course. This is only available for students enrolled in a foundation course.

Will students see their teachers during online lessons?

Since teachers possess authority over their live online sessions, they will activate their cameras and be clearly visible to students throughout the virtual class. Additionally, teachers will have access to the screen-sharing feature, enabling students to observe content presented by the teacher during the sessions.

Since classes are online, is it possible to join other online classes outside a student’s scheduled class?

Due to a restricted capacity for each class, it is necessary for students to participate in their assigned session.

How do teachers ensure that kids are focused whilst learning?

Educators utilise various methods to captivate students and guarantee their focus during online video lessons. For instance, numerous video classes incorporate interactive learning exercises that prompt students to tackle questions in real time. Nevertheless, it’s vital to acknowledge that the Cyberschool video lessons are designed for self-directed learning. As a result, parental support and guidance are essential.

I’m not able to travel to the branch (or live outside NSW), is there an option of remote learning?

We provide remote or online alternatives based on the specific requirements of our students. Our regular foundation courses are conducted through live online sessions using platforms like Zoom, while our Cyber Course is accessible through our Cyberschool platform.

My child is enrolled in WEMT. What is the recommended online learning routine my child should follow?

Throughout the week, students are anticipated to finalise all the questions within the modules. If they feel the need for additional module clarification, they can utilise the Cyberschool video lessons to revisit module concepts and questions.
