Experts agree that when “thinking power” is improved, reading, comprehension, problem-solving, and writing abilities will follow suit.

The 25, highly visual lessons in this unit utilize art, calendars, advertisements, signs, and more from which students draw solutions. (A playground is pictured. “Draw a red line to show one way to go from the swings to the pond.”)

Finding facts are also covered. (A May calendar is shown. “What is the number of the first Monday?”)

The inclusion of creative illustrations greatly assists the learning process. The easy-to-use activities are sure to improve critical thinking skills.
