A large measure of Einsteins genius was that he saw connections between aspects of the universe, time, space, mass, and the speed of light, other scientists had missed.
In his spirit, Einstein Triangles will help our students (and us!) see connections between academic subjects we might otherwise miss.
???
Einstein Triangles ... WBTs finest, analytical, synthetical, critical thinking, course summarizing game.
???
The perfect critical thinking activity would be:

-- used at any grade level K-12 -- used for any subject, music to algebra -- used by students of any ability, special ed, gifted, ELL. -- develop students speaking and writing skills ... as well as their thinking skills -- develop students analytical and synthetical abilities -- would require no material purchases -- would be stinkin fun
Wouldnt it be wonderful if such a game existed? And was free?

Compare
Contrast
Topic
A powerful strategy for helping students to think complexly is for them to compare, contrast and see connections between one topic and another.
Connect
What could you compare to the topic?
What could you contrast with the topic?
Topic
What have we studied that is connected to the topic?
Three simple questions lead to remarkable depths of critical thinking.
What could you compare to a rain forest? rain forest
What could you contrast with a rain forest?
What have we studied that is connected to rain forests?

For example, you want your kids to think critically about rain forests.
What could you compare to a rain forest? analytical rain forest
The compare question is analytical, asking students to think about characteristics that rain forests share with other natural phenomena.
What could you contrast with a rain forest? rain forest analytical
The contrast question is also analytical, asking students to think about what uniquely distinguishes rain forests from the rest of nature.
What could you contrast with a rain forest? rain forest analytical
Stop for a second. If students say everything that rain forests share with other things .. and everything that is unique about them ... they have made a deep, analytical investigation into the essence of rain forests.
rain forest
synthetical
The connection question is synthetical, asking students to link rain forests to other course material.
rain forest
synthetical
The synthetical question does what we almost never do ... join course material into a unied whole.
What could you compare to a rain forest? analytical rain forest
What could you contrast with a rain forest? analytical
What have we studied that is connected to rain forests? synthetical

Big Important Point 1 WBT Veterans: Make the Einstein Triangle below a big,
prominent part of your classroom. When kids are doing the teach-okay, they should only repeat what you said twice, and then go immediately into compare/contrast/connect. How does this information compare to other information weve learned? How does this question contrast with other questions? How does this lesson connect with other lessons? All day long, compare/contrast/connect, continuous Einstein Triangeling Critical Thinking.

Big Important Point 2 K-3 Teachers: All the slides in this program can be used for your classes. However, slides from 252 onward, involving great art, may be challenging. Nonetheless, expect that your K-3 students cultural horizons will be significantly broadened by comparing and contrasting a selection of Vincent Van Goghs masterpieces.
Big Important Point 3 4th-12th Teachers: Before beginning Einsteins Triangles, review slides up to 80 to understand the basic pattern of the program. Pay attention to the instructional directions on slide 50. Then, look through slides 205-245. Be sure your kids know and can use the gestures reviewed in slides 205-220. Material on Vincent Van Gogh, designed especially for your grade levels, begins at slide 252.
As K-12 students develop their critical thinking skills, they will use gestures for the following terms, the Elite Eight. 1. compare 2. contrast 3. connect 4. because 5. for example 6. also 7. but 8. more
???
In all grades, gestures are powerful learning aids, incorporating the motor and visual cortex. Teach your kids this gesture for compare, showing how two concepts are joined together. Green is our compare color.
K-12 students need to learn synonyms for compare. As a powerful learning aid, this same gesture is used for like, alike, and similar.
Teach your kids that bumping sts together stands for contrast. This shows two concepts dont go together. Red is our color for contrast.
This gesture is also used for contrast synonyms, unlike, not like and different, huge additions to a students critical thinking vocabulary.
Teach your kids to link their ngers together when they say connects to. Blue is our connect color.
This gesture is also used for connect synonyms: related to and, for lower grades, makes me think about. For example, in upper grades a student might say, Vocabulary words related to a rain forest are ... In lower grades, a student might say, Vocabulary words that a rain forest makes me think about are ...
Kids clap their hands once when they say because ... giving themselves applause for using one of reasonings most important words.
The for example gesture is called the Example Popper. A child is pulling an example out his or her head.
The but gesture is to assertively put your hands on your hips. I like soccer but it is a lot of work.
A useful, advanced synonym for but is however. Use the same gesture. I like soccer however it is a lot of work.
Rolling your forengers around each other is the sign for tell me more or Im telling you more, a gesture for detail sentences.
For example, if a student is talking, a teacher may give the more gesture to hear more information. Or, students may use the more gesture to signal they are going add more to a topic.
For the Also gesture, teach your kids to hold their chin thoughtfully. Theyve just thought of something else to say.
This gesture can also be used for In addition, a useful synonym for also.
For several days, show your K-12 students the following pictures of the Elite Eight. Have them make the gesture and say the words. Go fast or slow, ask them to use silly voices, clown voices, birdy voices. Make it fun! Nothing better than a class of kids giggling, laughing, learning ... thats why you love them.
compare
contrast
connects to
because
For example,
Also,
but
more
As a next step, all during lessons, suddenly say one of the words ... or use it as you speak. The kids should quickly repeat the word and make the gesture. Here are the words, the Elite Eight: 1. compare 2. contrast 3. connects to 4. because 5. for example 6. also 7. but 8. more
Dont fret because your students dont know exactly what the words mean ... teaching them the meaning of the words is what Einstein Triangles is all about!
Also, dont worry that during the game synonyms for some of the words are used. For example, different is sometimes used for contrast, alike is used for compare etc. Teaching critical thinking synonyms is a huge part of Einstein Triangles.
For maximum effectiveness, you should use WBTs Core Four during your lessons: ClassYes, Mirror Words, TeachOkay and the Scoreboard. Detailed descriptions of each are available in webcasts 557, 558, 561, 562 in our video archive at http://goo.gl/jxy2Fs.
As to K-3* pacing, each cartoon sequence contains 11 questions, moving from Easy Padeasy to Toughie-Wuffie. Dont spend more than 5-10 minutes per day. After your kids know the gestures, heres a suggested schedule ... *For 4th-12th pacing of slides beginning at 252, go as far as you can, each day, in 30 minute sessions.

Day One: Questions 1-5 Day Two: Questions 1-6 Day Three: Questions 1-6 Day Four: Questions 6-7 Day Five: Question 6-7 Day Six: Question 8 Day Seven: Question 8-9 Day Eight-Eleven: Question 10 (the Toughie-Wuffie!) Day Twelve: Question 11 -- there are five sequences of cartoons ... follow the above schedule for each sequence ... enough for 60 days of cartoon Critical Thinking!!!
Now youre ready to start! 1. Use a computer projector. 2. Model an answer to an Einstein Triangle question. 3. Using large gestures, student pairs continuously create answers, even repeating themselves, until you call them back. 4. Individual students share their answers with the class. 5. Go on to the next question. -- the next screen is the first one, after the gestures, you show your K-3 class. Grades 4-12 start at slide 252.

Im Coach B! Welcome to Whole Brain College! Were going to play Einstein Triangles, a game that challenges my college kids!
In this game, you will learn more about one of the greatest painters of all time, Vincent Van Gogh.
But rst, I want you to learn how to think with your whole brain ... its Whole Brain College, you know! ... So, learn these gesture.
In all grades, gestures are powerful learning tool, incorporating brains physical and visual learning areas. This gesture is for compare, showing how two concepts are joined together. Green is our compare color.
As a remarkable learning aid, this same gesture is used for like, alike, and similar.
Bumping your sts together stands for contrast. This shows two concepts dont go together. Red is our color for contrast.
This gesture is also used for contrast synonyms, unlike, not like and different, huge additions to your critical thinking vocabulary.
Link your ngers together when you say connects to. Blue is our connect color.
This gesture is also used for connect synonyms: related to and links to.
Clap your hands once when you say because ... give yourself applause for using one of reasonings most important words.
The for example gesture is called the Example Popper. You are pulling an example out of your head.
For the Also gesture, hold your chin thoughtfully. Youve just thought of something else to say.
This gesture can also be used for In addition, a useful synonym for also.
The but gesture is to assertively put your hands on your hips. I like soccer but it is a lot of work.
You can also use however as a synonym for but. I like soccer however it is a lot of work.

As you talk to your neighbor about Vincent Van Goghs paintings, use these gestures. When you make gestures, you are using two of your brains most powerful memory areas, regions that control physical and visual learning.
Now, to make this game of Einstein Triangles interesting, you will be playing against my class of college students! They will tell you how many points they scored at various levels and dare you to beat them.
We will, we will, WHOMP YOU!

Here are two paintings that Vincent Van Gogh, one of the greatest painters of all time, made of himself. Van Gogh lived from 1853 to 1890 and created some of his most famous pictures in France.

What three contrasts do you see in these self-portraits? Summer: 1887 Winter: 1887
The contrasts are ____, _____, and ______. Summer: 1887 Winter: 1887
If you dont go to college, dont even try the next challenge.
Just work on counting to 10. Maybe review your ABCs.
Im one of those super smart, young kids who goes to college. Face it. Youre not me.
Compare and contrast these two paintings. You must use the words: similar, different, because, for example, also, but, and in conclusion.
I look at the Summer: 1887 SelfPortrait and see _____. [more] ____ but ______. In the Winter: 1887 Self Portrait I see ______. [more] _____ but _____. They are similar because ______. For example, _____. Also, _____. [more] They are different because ______. For example, _____. Also, _____. [more] In conclusion, ___. [more]

You survived the second challenge with my college class. Now, before we look at two more paintings by Vincent Van Gogh, memorize these punctuation gestures. Use them whenever you talk to your neighbor about the paintings.
When you speak a word that has a capital letter, lift one hand off the other, to show you are speaking a word that starts with a big letter.
Errrt!
This is the gesture for a period. Push your hand out and say errrt! like you are putting on the brakes and stopping. A period is where a sentence stops.
For a comma, make a comma shaped curve in the air. Purple, as you may have noticed, is our punctuation color.
When you make the comma, say Zoop!

Lets review all the gestures! Ill show them to you; you say the word and make the gesture.
