This is a legal agreement between you (a single entity, company, or educational institution) and The Critical Thinking Co.™ for the software accompanying this agreement, which includes computer Software and associated Documentation. For a more lesson-based approach to teach critical thinking, we recommend The Basics of Critical Thinking (Grades 4 – 9) and Practical Critical Thinking (Grades 9 – 12+). The focus of these activities is to teach students to identify and evaluate evidence-the very heart of critical thinking. The entertaining crime cases also develop observation skills, reading comprehension, and deductive and inductive thinking skills. All of the cases require students to synthesize information from different sources to determine which suspects are innocent or guilty. The cases develop critical thinking skills by requiring students to carefully read to determine what information in the case description and witness and suspect statements is legitimate evidence, and what is just opinion or irrelevant information.


Some cases may be more challenging for younger students, but teachers and parents can always provide hints when needed. This colorful 32-page book offers a collection of fun, easy-to-use detective cases for Grades 4 - 12+.
