When you refer to "rules" as one of the 14 critical thinking elements, which rules do you mean? Is there a source you are taking those 14 elements from?

Do you happen to have a list of standards this resource would cover?

Teacher Thrive

Hello. I don’t have a standards alignment for these units.

Would you be able to provide an answer key? or at least some description of what the answers would look like, even though they could be varied. Thanks! I want to buy this but would prefer if there was an answer key for it

Teacher Thrive

Hi Jessica! Thank you for your interest. Due to the nature of the resource and time commitments, I can not provide an answer key.
