Solution:

A teacher can identify creative children in her class by their innovative style of thinking.Creativity - It helps us to view and solve the problem more openly with the innovations. creativity opens minds.When the child develops an innovative style of thinking, he is approaching the same problem with different ideas. These lead the child to develop creativity.Key PointConvergent thinking- When the solution to the problem can only be deduced by the established rules and logical reasoning.Examples- MCQ types of the test don't allow to think, It focuses more on the memorisation of the fact.Divergent thinking- It helps to develop the ideas beyond prescribed way and rote memory. It helps to think about the same problem in multiple ways.Examples- Give the pile of blocks and ask them to create a different structure each time with that block.Additional Information Their popularity among the peers- This doesn't have any direct link with creativity as there are many reasons to be popular among the peers. Eg such a child might be good at sports.Their selection of simple and recall based tasks- This shows that the child depends on the rote memory, he selects the simple task which is easy to recall, This doesn't develop creativity because he is not using ideas for the problems.HintConvergent thinking helps in developing uniformity.Divergent thinking help in developing creativity.
