Understanding analogies and the ability to reason analogically (reasoning used to identify, evaluate, and solve an analogy) are also important problem-solving skills. It is, therefore, beneficial for students to learn about analogies as soon as reasonably possible. The immediate benefit is to recognize and solve simple analogies. The long-term benefits are improved reasoning skills that enable students to break problems into their component parts, recognize analogies imbedded in arguments, and evaluate them. Problem-solving is an essential part of mathematical development. Analogies provide practice in breaking math problems down into their component parts, making it easier to recognize familiar formats that enable students to produce solutions. Analogical reasoning is not easy, particularly for younger students whose thinking skills are in the formative stages of development. At this age, children commonly
