What is a Hexagonal Thinking Activity?

Hexagonal thinking is an immersive, kinesthetic strategy designed to deepen understanding through the exploration of interconnected concepts. Each student is given a hexagon-shaped card, with each facet asking a question related to the overarching topic: Nutrition Facts on Halloween Candy. After reading the nutrition label (included), students record the answers to the questions on the hexagon. Then, students form groups with other students and align their hexagons by finding similarities between their candies. As they align their hexagons, they're not just placing cards next to each other; they’re building a visual matrix that shows similarities among the nutritional content of Halloween candy.

Using Hexagonal Thinking Activities offers students a dynamic way to see, process, and interconnect essential concepts, transforming individual ideas into a grand interconnected matrix.
