I'm finally ready to start logic with my 5th grader

[Kimber]

I'm looking for a workbook that's more tables with if, then type statements or truth tables. I'm not really interested in puzzles and games, yet. Is there anything like this for middle school?

 

Thanks, Kimberly

1. Mindbenders and Perplexors are logic puzzles solved with charts/grids.

See samples of perplexors at:

2. Logic Liftoff (gr. 4-5) and Orbiting with Logic (gr. 5-7) each have a brief section on "if/then" statements.

Just our experience: we found the if-then statements a *tougher* concept than logic puzzles, or some of the other logic concepts found in Logic Liftoff and Orbiting with Logic -- so you may find those books to be a good general introduction to a variety of logic types, in addition to the if-then conditional logic statements. Just a thought! Best of luck, warmly, Lori D.

Thank you so much, these are wonderful resources. I've scanned them briefly but I'm already sure that I can find something that we can use.
