We are the publisher, The Critical Thinking Co. and this is a brand new book in the latest edition.
Description
This
128-page book uses topics and skills drawn from national math standards
to prepare your students for advanced math courses and assessments that
measure reasoning, reading comprehension, and writing in math.
Students
read a short story that includes a chart, table, or graph. Next they
answer critical thinking questions to improve their understanding of the
math concept and develop their critical thinking (comprehension)
skills. Students can't just scan the story for answers—they must
carefully analyze and synthesize the information from the text and the
chart, table, or graph to explain and support their answers.
The questions in Math Detective® A1
are modeled after questions found on high-stakes math assessments, but
require more critical thinking. These problems are excellent preparation
for assessments that require students to explain and support their
answers.
Stories are age-relevant, high-interest, and show
students that math is integral to everyday activities. This book
contains a lesson that explains the concept of evidence, a chart of
activity topics and key ideas to help parents and teachers select
activities, and detailed answers.
The activities in Math Detective® A1 are organized around these math concepts:
• Number and Numeration
• Operations
• Geometry
• Probability
• Statistics
• Pre-Algebra
