Critical Thinking CTB01336BBP Mind Benders Book 6, Grades 7-12+, Grade: 7 to 7

Fun activity to do as an adult and with the kids to get the mind going. We work a page together before school. Answers are provided. Thin book which is great for when we travel.

I have been looking for Mind Benders like the kind I used to solve as a kid, and was ecstatic to find this offering on amazon! Book 6 is graded for ages from 7-12 grade and up, and is more of a review for me, but is a lot of fun and a good way to stretch the mind. This booklet has a nice overview of how to do these logic puzzles at the beginning, and all the answers in the back to check your work. So far, I've just done a few, but it appears there is a range of difficulty throughout (though books 7+ should be harder). Be aware though, these are all the exact same type of puzzles, with a scenario paragraph, followed by important clues, and a graph-like grid to log your deductions upon. I'm starting with Book 6 because it's been so long since I've done these, so I recommend these puzzles for adults who want a little brain workout during your downtime, but also for kids to help with reading comprehension, concentration, and deduction. These were a favorite amongst the kids in my 7th & 8th grade classes years ago, and I think they'd still be today. Booklet is 56 pages from first puzzle to last answer breakdown, and pages are perforated for easy copy or distribution in a classroom. Love this product, and can't wait to move up to the next once the cobwebs are cleaned out of my brain!

I did these as a kid and was thrilled to find them again! I enjoyed working through the book- the puzzles were pleasantly challenging and kept me engaged.

I love the whole Mind Benders series. I have used them in my homeschool for many years. From early elementary kids to my seniors finishing high school we have started the day with a Mind Bender puzzle. When the kids were little we nicknamed them brain dusters. It really did help get them fully awake and thinking in a fun way.

For the logical, critical or strategic thinker this mind puzzle book is great to keep them challenged while having fun. I use this puzzle book with my students to keep them focused while using critical thinking skills to solve some fun puzzles problems.

Absolutely love these books. The set up helps keeps track of clues and facts and the simple (-) and (+) signs make it easier to know whats true or false instead of a statement or the word itself. And it forces you to think like a detective and practice critical thinking. This company is among the best I've ever read from they are definitely well constructed and teach all principles of critical thinking and i recommend any books from this seller.

Great deductive puzzles.

Very difficult!! I got a few puzzles but had to order the easier book and even that was difficult!!
