4KookieKids Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 My ds really loves the logic puzzles in BA, but not the ones that you usually think of when you think "logic puzzles" (e.g., matching things up on a grid). So, for example, he really enjoyed sudoku, and then loved the sumduko that BA made up even more. He liked their variations on mindsweeper, and got a huge kick out of the puzzles where each row and column has a number on it, and you have to enter digits into the grid so the the row and column products matched the given number. Besides the "extras" on the BA website, does anyone know where else I can get a variety of logic-y puzzles like this? Or does he just have to make his peace with waiting until more come along in his BA books? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiara.I Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Conceptis puzzles website. They've got kakuro, slitherlink, all sorts of Japanese logic puzzles. They're not quite like Beast, but it might have stuff to keep him busy. Sent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCal_Bear Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Critical Thinking Company has some. If you look around on amazon, there are books. Just search for math puzzles or math brain teasers. If you go online, you can find ken ken, strimko, skyscraper, etc puzzles for free all over the place online. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterPan Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 (edited) Teacher Created Resources has a grade-leveled series Puzzles and Games that Make Kids Think that has puzzles like you're describing. It specifically has grid problems like you described, but it has lots of other kids too. We enjoy them and I throw them in our work packets to keep him happy. Puzzles And Games That Make Kids Think Search Results | Teacher Created Resources They have some other good brain teaser books, btw. Just snoop around. Most publishers (TeacherCreated, Carson-Dellosa, etc.) will have something like that. They might call them Fast Finishers or something, but they usually have them. Teacher Created has a Mind Twisters series and another publisher (can't remember which) had a series 3rd and up called Brain Teasers Edited March 21, 2018 by PeterPan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdventuresinHomeschooling Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Mindbenders has some fun logic puzzles, but they are different than your examples from BA. But Critical Thinking Company (the company of Mindbenders) has a lot of puzzle type books you might like. Zacarro has some challenging thinking problems too, but again, I dont know if they are what you are looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
