Skill Sharpeners: Critical Thinking, Grade 3 Workbook

This book is informative yet fun. My daughter enjoys doing the lessons. A bit more on the lightweight side. I'd suggest going up by one grade if the child is average to above his/her school grade.

This book is so nicely organized and flows perfectly from unit to unit. It is actually separated into units and at the beginning of each unit has a checklist. Then each unit flows nicely, slowly gaining more information on the unit's topic as it goes. It's full of COLORFUL worksheets and reading articles, coloring and hands on activities and presents the information in many different ways so the child learns how become a flexible thinker, looking for ways to solve it rather than force the situation to fit their way of thinking. Very intuitive. the pages are also a high quality paper. Love this series of books. Definitely worth the purchase for home schoolers.

A hidden gem for home schoolers. Grades 3 and higher can be used for older kids, just omit the 'crafts' that accompany each unit study. These books have such interesting questions and unique workbook pages, I totally recommend all of the grade levels. Complete answers in back of book.

It's a nice addition to curriculum. I wish there were more activities for one day, but it is a decent amount, I suppose.

I bought these for my two third graders to work on for homeschool. Our special area this nine weeks is critical thinking. This book combines skills from all subject areas and makes the kids think outside of the box to come up with solutions. There are a variety of activities in the book to engage the children from many different aspects. The only problem I am having is that my kids are at the end of the year and just don't want to engage in thinking and really want to make this an activity that mom walks them through or does for them.
