Sharon H in IL Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 I have the 1st edition of TWTM, but I thought I'd ask what the new recommendations are for teaching logic to a 7th grade child. ETA: we haven't done any formal training so far, such as Mind Benders, etc. Just strategy games, which he loves. Thank you! Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Mungo Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 I think I'd do the first couple of Mind Benders books first and then start Introductory Logic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhudson Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 We're using "Fallacy Detective" and "The Thinking Toolbox" and then will move into "Introduction to Logic". My ds LOVES the "Fallacy Detective" and begs to do more.:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My ds LOVES the "Fallacy Detective" and begs to do more.:001_smile: :iagree: Also Critical Thinking is another introductory method. We're using it in a group of 6-8th grade boys this year.

My ds LOVES the "Fallacy Detective" and begs to do more . This is exactly what we are doing! :-) My 13 year old also really loves Fallacy Detective so far.

Carol in Cal. Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 ...with my 7th grader last year. Maybe TOO big a hit, LOL, as she took a way too gleeful stance whenever she caught ME in a fallacy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
