mom2vikha Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 DD10 has done logic ever since 5 simply because she loves workbooks and analogies and puzzles. I want to keep it fun and do once a week on Fridays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherry in OH Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 My children love the Prufrock Press logic puzzle books - Logic Safari, Logic Liftoff, etc. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to keep it fun and do once a week on Fridays. Sorry, I think I worded my post in a confusing way. I meant my almost 10 year old has never done logic before.

MinivanMom Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Blastoff with Logic is a great place to start with a 5th grader. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farrar Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Another vote for the Prufrock Press books. Short, not too expensive, sort of fun, nicely to the point. The Logic Safari series is all grid style deductive reasoning puzzles. The Logic Liftoff series introduces everything, including, by the end, a gentle intro to formal logic. Also, I'll bet he has done some logic through games and math and so forth. Games are really the best way... things like sudoku, solo games like Rush Hour, strategy games like Mastermind. Lori D. has a really good list - maybe if you search her name and logic you'll turn up where she's posted it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HollyDay Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 We did Grid Perplexors, Logic Links, and various other Perplexor workbooks. We also played Rush Hour, Blockus, Chess, and other type games 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Targhee Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 (edited) I agree that "logic" in the form of puzzling questions is great for 5th grade. I wouldn't start formal logic. Or even informal logic, though my DS read Fallacy Detective for fun. We didn't study it - he just found it on my shelf and read it. DS in 5th did Logic Liftoff. It's a good series. ETA: like previous post said., games are awesome! And read the Sherlock Holmes stories (it's more of a hook for logic than teaching logic) Edited June 30, 2016 by Targhee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathleen. Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 I just read about a book from another post - "The Great Chocolate Caper" that would definitely be a comprehensive introduction to logic in a very friendly and unassuming way. It's also published by Prufrock Press. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
