Core Curriculum Solutions - The most affordable award-winning curriculum on the market!


We design critical thinking into ALL of our core curriculum products. This not only helps students transfer critical thinking skills to other areas of their lives, it improves the effectiveness of the lessons. Critical thinking requires deeper analysis of the lesson. Deeper analysis produces deeper understanding, resulting in greater engagement and retention of the lesson.

Each product listed below provides a complete curriculum within grade range and subject, and meets state and national standards set by the Department of Education.

Customer Testimonials:
 
"Building Thinking Skills® has improved our son's test-taking skills and made him a more logical thinker, which helps him learn more effectively in all subject areas. These are wonderfully effective books and I highly recommend them." - Epinions.com 

"The most positive characteristic of the Mathematical Reasoning books are the higher order thinking skills that the content encourages. As an educator, I can appreciate that the skills involve multi-steps and hands-on manipulation." - iParenting Media reviewer

"I just wanted to share that I love your products! This is my second year homeschooling and I'm glad I found your products this early on. My 5 and 7 year old just love doing Language Smarts; I love how it's colorful, fun, and effective! It makes Language Arts much more fun for them, and I know they're getting a thorough curriculum." - Marianne Fick, FL 
"A thorough look at the world of science. [It meets every National Standard for Physical Science, Life Science and Earth Science.] I think it's terrific!" - Byron, Setauket, NY
  "As a homeschooling mother of five, I wanted to thank you for such wonderful products. We have changed our homeschool curriculum to focus on your Critical Thinking Company™ products--after spending a small fortune on materials that were watered down and not effective--and couldn't be happier. I wish we had found your products earlier. Our younger children that have used your core curriculum products since preschool are all performing above their age groups and loving the challenge of learning!

Language is not my son's strong point, but by using Language Smarts™, he is writing complete sentences, recognizing grammatical errors, and learning Language Arts like never before. Mathematical Reasoning™ presents math in a way that makes it not only simple to learn, but also practical to apply to everyday circumstance --obviously making math more meaningful to him. I cannot brag enough on Building Thinking Skills™ and how it starts students out at a young age with organizing thoughts, brainstorming, and categorizing, all of which are crucial as college students and adults but unfortunately these skills tend to be overlooked in other curriculums. Our whole family enjoys the riddles and brain teasers from Thinker Doodles and Dr. DooRiddles that fill our van with giggles and discussion on long trips. Thank you for such wonderful products! Three cheers for exceeding the status quo!!!" - Katherine David, MS


"I recently ordered a few of your books as part of my 1st graders homeschooling curriculum and I am SO IMPRESSED that I just had to let you know. My son loves doing the work and it is really making a difference in his thought process. I could go on and on, I am just so happy to have found your company and look forward to a long relationship with you."
- Krista Bulger, MD
