Why should teachers 'explain' when students can think on their own?
Science and Math workbooks that make everyone a better thinker. Including the teacher. (For CBSE schools, classes 4-8)
Imagine a class that begins with an interesting question. Imagine a class in which teachers allow most children the opportunity to think on their own. Imagine a classroom in which many declarative statements of teachers are converted into questions.
Such a classroom is Thinking Classroom. Thinking Classroom is a set of Science and Math workbooks offered to CBSE schools. These workbooks are offered from grades 4-8.
Open Door provides:
- Workbook for each student along with WOW! videos
- Detailed explanations and videos for teachers to show in the classroom
- Handholding and workshop for the teachers

Science and Math are filled with many amazing concepts. Open Door’s Thinking Classroom is a set of workbooks that contained questions like: ‘What should Virat Kohli eat for breakfast before a cricket match?’, ‘Does sheep fear pain when it is sheared?’
"It has helped our children to think like young scientists."
- Ms. Deepika Thapar Singh,
Principal, Credence High School, Dubai
These workbooks are mapped exactly with the CBSE curriculum. The sequence of chapters, the sequence of topics are same as that suggested by CBSE.
"Children are more interested in Science than they were before."
- Ms. Sunita George
Principal, Bombay Scottish School, Mumbai
Through a variety of questions such as open-ended questions, hypothetical questions, and quizzes, Open Door’s Thinking Classroom makes children think like never before. After each question, children need to write their thoughts.
"Open Door's questions are truly out of the world"
- Ms. Manjula Raman

Open Door offers 'Thinking Assessments', 'Thinking Classroom' and 'Critical Thinking' programs to schools. Thinking Assessments is a series of thought-provoking assessments followed by immediate feedback. Thinking Classroom is a set of workbooks of questions that make children think and help teachers speak less while teaching and the 'Critical Thinking Program,' is designed in partnership with IIT Gandhinagar. This program assists your teachers in teaching critical thinking to students during school hours.
Our programs are offered for Science and Mathematics. Thinking Assessments is offered from grades 3 - 10. Thinking Classroom is offered from grades 4 - 8.
Teachers tend to use similar examples every year. By using Open Door's assessments, teachers challenge themselves and students to think deeper. This also provides school management to reliably gauge student understanding through an external body of assessments.
