We are the publisher, The Critical Thinking Co. and this is a brand new book in the latest edition.
Description
These award-winning, popular, easy-to-use detective cases are suitable for Grades 6 –
12+. Students must apply critical reading, critical thinking, and
mathematical reasoning. The mathematics needed to solve these cases
require the application of common middle school math concepts, but don’t
be fooled! The real challenges are to first identify the clues by
synthesizing from different witnesses and suspects, and then determine
the necessary math needed to turn the clues into evidence.
Some
cases may be more challenging for younger students, but teachers and
parents can always use the optional hints provided to help students that
reach a dead end. The cases also develop observation skills, reading
comprehension, and deductive and inductive thinking skills. Learning to
identify and evaluate evidence is the very heart of critical thinking.
