1. Divergent and Convergent Thinking
With Team 3

2. Divergent Thinking
Divergent thinking is a thought process or method used to generate creative ideas by exploring many possible solutions.
Divergent thinking typically occurs in a spontaneous, free-flowing, 'non-linear' manner, such that many ideas are generated in an emergent cognitive fashion.
Many possible solutions are explored in a short amount of time, and unexpected connections are drawn. After the process of divergent thinking has been completed, ideas and information are organized and structured using convergent thinking.

3. Convergent Thinking Definition
Convergent thinking is the process of finding a single best solution to a problem that you are trying to solve. Many tests that are used in schools, such as multiple choice tests, spelling tests, math quizzes, and standardised tests, are measures of convergent thinking. Traditional intelligent tests, such as the Stanford-Binet, also measure convergent testing.
The Stanford–Binet Intelligence Scale, it is a cognitive ability and intelligence test that is used to diagnose developmental or intellectual deficiencies in young children. The five factors being tested are knowledge, quantitative reasoning, visual-spatial processing, working memory, and fluid reasoning.

4. Differences Between Them
Divergent thinking is the process of creating many unique solutions in order to solve a problem.
Whenever we use divergent thinking, we search for options instead of just choosing among predetermined options.
Divergent thinking works best in problems that are open-ended and allow for creativity.
Convergent thinking, is the process of creating logical steps in order to determine what is the single best solution.
Convergent thinking relies heavily on logic and less on creativity, while divergent thinking emphasizes creativity.
Convergent thinking works best in situations where a single best correct answer exists and it is possible to discover the answer through analyzing available stored information. For example, if someone asked you what is, you know there is only one solution that works and that you can use your understanding of addition and numbers to find the best answer, which is 4.

5. Pros + Cons Divergent Thinking
Less Time consuming
Better for creativity
Cons
Have to use convergent thinking when a conclusion has been met anyway

6. Pros + Cons Convergent Thinking
Will lead to a single solution
Tried and tested process
Used in many forms i.e. math tests, spelling tests and multiple choice
Cons
Cannot be as creative with answers
More Time consuming
