As elementary school children become pre-teens they grow not only in stature but also in their ability to process information and think in deeper and more abstract ways. They are no longer satisfied with isolated facts and component pieces of information but want to understand how things fit together. The mind of the middle school student has developed to the degree that information can be assembled into relationships, patterns and categories. Discussion, reasoning skills and debate are good learning tools to process information in the middle school years. Teachers are able to instruct via cause and effect relationships, compare and contrast and with contextual understanding.
