rocketgirl Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 My daughter is entering 6th grade and has completed a year of Mindbenders Logic Problems. I plan on continuing them this year but think we could definitely include a "formal" logic lesson at least once a week. She seems ready. Critical Thinking looks a little boring/scary though. Is it better than it looks? Or is there something better out there? Thanks for any suggestions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erika Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Have you looked at the suggestions in TWTM for logic? I don't have my copy handy, but I know they do have them. Maybe someone else could tell you the recommendations. So I will give the thread a bump for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketgirl Posted August 11, 2011 Author Share Posted August 11, 2011 Yes, but there aren't any other suggestions except ....A case of Red Herrings....which sounds similar to mind benders. Looking for something more formal but introductory...and wondering if Critical Thinking is the only thing out there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momling Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Do you mean a lesson about formal logic or a formal lesson about logic? I don't know how 'formal' the lessons are, but if you want some age-appropriate formal logic, look at Orbiting with Logic (or the other books in the series). I think there is a mix of informal logic (inferences and analogies) and also some lessons on set theory and symbolic logic and truth tables and such.
