Each weekly lesson plan equips teachers with a thematic unit that hones in on a standards-aligned skill. Throughout the unit week, easy-to-use lessons outline activities to strengthen critical thinking and reasoning skills with multi-step, higher-level problems. Aligned with national standards, this comprehensive resource prepares students for college and career readiness.
