This innovative text teaches elementary school students the techniques of critical thinking and problem solving and applies those methods to mathematical word problems. It supplements traditional fourth, fifth, and sixth grade textbooks and increases students' thinking and problem solving abilities. Students are taught the fundamentals of these processes by applying them both to simple and multi-step problems which are provided. These problems -- many written by elementary school pupils --gradually increase in difficulty, making learning both fun and stimulating. Special attention is given to typical errors and sources of conceptual difficulty.
This textbook is designed to enhance the thinking and writing
skills that students need for both academic and occupational
success. It helps to prepare students for the verbal portions of
the SAT, PSAT, ACT, GED, and GRE and offers tips on how to pass
writing tests often required for promotion/graduation and on-the-
job writing assignments.
This book offers students a method for understanding and mastering the rhetorical patterns that comprise expository writing. Its exercises ask students to arrange jumbled sentences into logical order, forming model essays for standard rhetorical patterns such as comparison/contrast, classification, and thesis support. These techniques force students to see the basic logic of different writing patterns. The goal of Whimbey's workbook is to teach the student to write concise and original essays on any topic.

The authors of this book, both experienced teachers, examine the
controversy surrounding two popular methods for teaching writing --
the "process" approach and its offspring, Writing Across the
Curriculum. Both have recently been called into question for their
ineffectiveness. An alternative lesser-known procedure called
"sentence combining," which has been proven successful in numerous
studies over the past fifteen years, finally is gaining the
attention it deserves. Using the sentence combining approach, the
authors present a rationale for re-thinking and re-tooling the
English classroom and consequently making the entire educational
system work more effectively.
