The Little Book of Logic Puzzles: 25 Puzzles That Will Make You Think, Volume #2
ELA, Reading, Grade 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, Activities
Volume #2 of The Little Book of Logic Puzzles: 25 Puzzles That Will Make You Think. Each Logic Puzzle in this volume is part of a two-page spread. The first page of the spread contains the puzzle while the second page lists the answer and explanation. All of the puzzles are arranged in order of difficulty, from easiest to most difficult. The download you have received is in a Microsoft WORD format. This gives you the option to print the puzzles out on paper or solve them on the computer screen. A third option, that of displaying the puzzles on an overhead projector as part of a classroom or public presentation , can help you and the other solvers see and more clearly understand how the puzzle grids can be marked with “X’s” (to eliminate choices that can’t be), and “O’s” (to show the choices that must be), giving additional visual cues that will help you to correctly solve the puzzles. These 25 Logic Puzzles are great tools for developing reading comprehension and problem solving skills. Teachers, present them as an activity in your classroom to start the day, or at the start of a reading period. Use them to give your students a break from traditional reading exercises, while still providing them with a significant reading challenge. Consider adding a Logic Puzzle as an ungraded extra page to the end of a quiz or test, giving those students who finish the test quickly a puzzle to solve and something to do while others in the class are still completing their exams. Once you have finished solving the Logic Puzzles in Volume #2, you may want to have access to more puzzles. Thankfully, Volumes #1 and #3 are also available in the same format, and each contains another set of 25 Logic Puzzles of the same quality and the same level of challenge!
