michaeljenn Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 I am trying to decide what logic to use for my 13yo. This will be our first time to do any logic. My choices are: Introductory Logic, Nance The Fallacy Detective with Critical Thinking Book 1 & 2 Traditional Logic from Memoria Press What did you use that worked well for a 13yo? Any opinions/suggestions welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathie in VA Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 My oldest is 13. So far we've done the first 2 CDs from Mindbenders to teach some deductive reasoning. Last year we did most of Fallacy Detective aloud to together and we all enjoyed it (12/13 yo dd, 11 yo ds with 8yo ds popping in because he wanted to hear it also). I'm hoping to finnish FD this summer. I'm looking at a local Debate class for my 13yo dd and Teaching Textbooks for the 12yo ds. If she has time I'll have dd do both! :D I did plan on the formal logic books by this year but we are really enjoying the informal logic studies. I think it will only help in many ways to spend another year on this. We are also doing Classical Writing which will also go over formal logic in their Herodotus bk which we will get to in about 3 yrs. So hopefully we will have done some formal logic by then but if not we'll do it alongside CW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiver0f10 Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 We usually start with some mind benders and then in 7th they do Fallacy Detective and 8th the Thinking Toolbox with plans to do Traditional logic I in 9th and traditional logic II in 10th.

Lizzie in Ma Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Classical Academic Press carries it. We did Fallacy Detective last year and loved it and we are going to do Art of Argument this year. I have it already and it looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LanaTron Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 I was going to suggest this, too. My 13 yo will be using it this fall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
