We are the publisher, The Critical Thinking Co. and this is a brand new book in the latest edition.
Description
This award-winning, colorful 32-page book offers a collection of fun, easy-to-use
detective cases for Grades 4 - 12+. Some cases may be more challenging
for younger students, but teachers and parents can always provide hints
when needed. The cases develop critical thinking skills by requiring
students to carefully read to determine what information in the case
description and witness and suspect statements is legitimate evidence,
and what is just opinion or irrelevant information. All of the cases
require students to synthesize information from different sources to
determine which suspects are innocent or guilty. The entertaining crime
cases also develop observation skills, reading comprehension, and
deductive and inductive thinking skills. The focus of these activities
is to teach students to identify and evaluate evidence--the very heart
of critical thinking.
