This 48-page book contains several of our verbal deductive thinking puzzles. Unlike our other Mind Benders products, these puzzles are read to students, so they develop the logic, listening, mental organization, and memory skills vital to achieving higher grades and top test scores in all subjects. These award-winning, fun puzzles are also great for developing real-life, problem-solving skills! Students learn to carefully analyze each Mind Benders story and its clues, identifying logical associations between people, places, and things. The key is to make sure you get all the information out of each clue, by starting with the most obvious associations, then deducing the less obvious associations until everything finally fits together. Step-by-step instructions and detailed answers are included. Puzzles increase in difficulty.

This manual contains administration and scoring information, norms, consistency, reliability, item analysis, and validity for Level X and Level Z tests. The Cornell Critical Thinking Tests develop a clear picture of your students' critical thinking abilities. They can be used to teach critical thinking skills, to predict students' performance on your state proficiency exam, for honors/AP programs, critical thinking courses, college admissions, careers, and employment. Both tests have been used in curriculum and teaching experiments for appraisal of the critical thinking ability of a group and as criteria for program admission and employment.

Reference

The fun, hands-on physical science lessons/experiments in this 312-page book teach science principles found in state and national science standards. Students also learn and practice critical thinking through the application of the scientific method of investigation. Each activity is a 10- to 30-minute guided experiment in which students are prompted to verbalize their step-by-step observations, predictions, and conclusions. Reproducible pictures or charts are included when needed, but the focus is inquiry-based, hands-on science. Preparation time is short, and most materials can be found around the classroom. Step-by-step procedures, questions, answer guidelines, and clear illustrations are provided. Practical applications at the end of each activity relate science concepts to real-life experiences. These activities can be used successfully with a minimum of science knowledge, preparation time, and science equipment. The lessons/experiments teach science following these four important educational themes: • Science can and should motivate students toward learning and toward developing curiosity about the world in which they live. • Science is viewed as an active process of developing ideas, or "storybuilding," rather than as static bodies of already-existing knowledge to be passed on to students. • Students are encouraged to observe and describe their observations accurately and completely using scientific terminology. • An open, interactive atmosphere in the classroom is essential.

This 144-page student book is used with the You Decide! teacher's guide–sold separately–to teach students about the Bill of Rights. Students learn the first 8 amendments (Bill of Rights) to the Constitution and then act as U.S. Supreme Court judges. Students acquire an in depth understanding of the Bill of Rights by: • Learning each of the first 8 amendments to the U.S. Constitution. • Reading real court cases involving each amendment. • Judging each case based on their knowledge of the relevant amendment and the facts of the case. • Comparing their ruling with the ruling of the U.S. Supreme Court. A separate Instruction/Answer Guide is highly recommended to be used with this student book. The 144-page guide includes objectives, suggestions, a graphic organizer to keep track of facts in each case, and the Supreme Court decisions. Because the student book does not contain the court decisions, use of the guide is essential.

(Grade 2) Mathematical Reasoning™ helps students devise strategies to solve a wide variety of math problems. This book emphasizes problem-solving and computation to build the math reasoning skills necessary for success in higher-level math and math assessments. This book is written to the standards of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. The Level C book is a complete curriculum for the second grade level. These highly effective activities take students far beyond drill-and-practice by using step-by-step, discussion-based problem-solving to develop a conceptual bridge between computation and the reasoning required for upper-level math. Activities and units spiral slowly, allowing students to become comfortable with concepts but also challenging them to continue building their math skills. Answers are included in the back of the book.
