Sharon Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 would like to use either Building Thinking Skills or Mindbenders books for my 5th grader for the logic portion of his curriculum. Any comparison of these would be appreciated asap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapbookbuzz Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 I think they're both great! Maybe you could find one of each (discounted and/or used) and do a comparison? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSDCY Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Building Thinking Skills is not a logic puzzle book, it covers a lot more thinking skills topics than Mindbender books which contain only logic puzzles. If you are looking for logic puzzles only, I suggest the Printable Puzzles website: www.printable-puzzles.com They have all kinds of puzzles for free and their logic puzzles are pretty challenging. They come with hint and solution too. New puzzles are put on there every week. If you want logic puzzles in book format, I'd suggest any of the Perplexer books. They are a bit more expensive than Mindbender books but they have a lot more puzzles per book to work on. Hope this is helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crimson Wife Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 I've used both the MindBenders series and the logic puzzle books from Prufrock Press. They're very similar but the latter ones are a better value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
