LEK Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Hi I am loking for recommendations for a logic workbook for first grade. My dd(5) has already done lollipop logic and mind benders and found them way too easy so I am looking for something a bit harder that would not be beyond the reach of a 5yo. She is quite advanced in logic and mathematical thinking but on grade level for reading so something more pictorial would be great for her. Basically I would love something exactly like lollipop logic only harder. Does this exist? does anyone have any suggestions for me to try please.

lexi Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Look at the other titles from Prufrock-Logic Safari (logic grids) and Ligic Countdown. They also have a series called Connections. My dd also likes Math Anslogies from Critical Thinking Co. They also have Balance Benders and Balance Math. We like doing a mixture of books from both companies.

alisha Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 We also love Critical Thinking Company books, mostly Mathematical reasoning works for us. It's colorful but rather pricey. I noticed that Lollipop Logic has 3 books for the K-2 age range (at least on Amazon). I recently got the first one for my 5 year old and realized it was going to be too easy. Another one I found is Stepping Stones: A path to critical thinking by Vera Schneider at christianbook.com. These are HARD-I couldn't even do a couple of them, though if I had the answer book, I'm sure it would have made sense. But definitely most are do-able for a 5 year old. I also got the Evan Moor Critical and Creative thinking book. These are more creative thinking than problem solving critical thinking in my opinion.

lexi Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Good grief! Dumb iPhone! *logic* *analogies* Tin Man Press has fun logic books. Their stuff is more creative, out of the box type thinking. We like using a mix of resources for first grade. We are using Logic Safari (multiple levels) Math Analogies Analogies for beginners Mind Benders (I think those are the titles I have) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KristenR Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 My oldest is currently working through Primarily Logic. She started out on Lollipop 1 and 2 and Primarily Logic has been a nice step up for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mommy22alyns Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I think Sylvia did First Time Analogies and Primarily Logic along with a Critical Thinking K-3 book recommended by Sonlight. This year, she was solving Rebecca's LS2 and Logic Liftoff books, so I haven't bought her anything new yet. Grid Perplexors and Perplexors have been hits; and I'm looking at Logic Links for Sylvia for next year. What levels of Mind Benders has your DD used?

Embassy Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 It may not be what you are looking for, but we did some 3D maze books, word puzzle books, and difficult dot to dot books at that age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
