The term Six Thinking Hats is used to describe the tool for students’ group discussion and individual thinking. "Six Thinking Hats" provide means for students to plan thinking processes in a detailed and cohesive way, and in doing so to think together more effectively,  also it provides a framework to help students  think clearly and thoroughly by directing their thinking attention in one direction at a time.

White hat facts, Green hat creativity, Yellow hat benefits, Black hat cautions, Red hat feelings, and Blue hat process.

It's a simple mental metaphor. Hats are easy to put on and to take off. Each hat is a different color which signals the thinking ingredient. In a group setting each student thinks using the same thinking hat, at the same time, on the same thinking challenge and it is called focused parallel thinking--a tool that facilitates creativity and collaboration. It enables each student's unique point of view to be included and considered. Thinking becomes more thorough.
