Logic Countdown and sequels -- how long did they take?

[d.g.]

I finally picked up a copy of Logic Countdown to go with the two sequels a board member sent me. Now I'm trying to figure out how to work these into my plans for the coming school year, but I'm not sure how to do it.

 

In general, how long did each book take, especially the first book? Did you allow your dc to self-pace, or did you plan out a schedule for them? :bigear:

 

TIA!

Bump??

I don't schedule it. My DC just do a page of their logic countdown or logic safari after their regular math.

I think my kids worked through 2 a year but it was only scheduled 2x a week. My youngest will be going through them next year but I haven't worked out the schedule yet.

 

ETA: I just re-read your question. I usually assign a time block for the books. He will work the books at his pace spending about 30 minutes, twice weekly. TWTM assigns 60 minutes 3x weekly for critical thinking but I don't think I can make that work with his schedule.

Thanks for replying!

 

I think DS is going to fly through the first half of the book if I don't keep an eye on him. I'm hoping the second half slows him down!!

We just do a page when it's Logic time.

We did them three times a week in 5th grade. My son go through all three books over the year.

My boys do a logic page every morning with their independent work.
