After each of the three separate 'thinking tools' has been introduced, the pupil has an opportunity to apply the tool to:

A series of topics taken from the curriculum
Issues taken from typical situations in their lives.

Thus pupils begin to internalise the thinking processes involved by tackling issues that are directly relevant to them.

The programme therefore not only supports the school curriculum, but is an important contributor to each pupil's personal development and behaviour.

Specifically the program helps pupils:

Compare and contrast situations, ideas and concepts
Collect relevant information and judge its value
Give reasons for their opinions and actions
Draw inferences and explain their own thinking
Make reasoned judgements and decisions
Define problems and look for innovative solutions
Plan projects and predict outcomes
Control and modify their own behaviour
