Ridgewood Analogies, Book 2

Ridgewood Analogies 2 teaches students how to solve 5 different kinds of analogies that exemplify 5 different kinds of relationships using more complex vocabulary including descriptive analogies, comparative analogies, serial analogies, causal analogies, and categorical analogies.

Within each category, students encounter 4 levels of complexity. In the novice section, students choose 2 out of 6 words within a frame, which are related in the same way, and connect them with an arrow. In the apprentice level, students complete an analogy that is missing 1 word by choosing a word from the Word Bank to complete an analogy. In the masters level, students choose 2 words from the Word Bank to complete an analogy. The super masters level provides additional challenge for those students who have mastered the other levels.

About Ridgewood Analogies: Help students become independent thinkers and problem solvers by using analogies as early as kindergarten in language arts, social studies, science, and math as a way of identifying relationships and making connections.
