Critical Thinking Skills: Finding Facts

The 23 lessons in this unit are designed to provide a variety of sources from which students extract factual information. The practical yet interesting formats encourage students to analyze signs, product packaging, advertisements, diagrams, receipts, and more.

They will also use language and math skills in practical, everyday situations.
