underthebridge Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 When I was in elementary school (early 80's), our classroom had a big boxed set of cards, each with a different logic puzzle. They ranged from toothpick puzzles to word problems to block problems and were meant for elementary school, so not overly difficult. Does anyone remember theses? I would love to find them again. They are sort of like these http://www.amazon.com/Logic-Puzzles-Simon-Tudhope/dp/0794532462/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1432175877&sr=8-3&keywords=Logic+puzzle+card But a larger set and very simply designed.

arliemaria Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 I do not know what you are referring to, but the two logic puzzles my son really enjoys at the moment are Cool Circuits and Rush Hour Jr. I hope someone posts about the games you are remembering. That would be a great game resource. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kareni Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 When I was in elementary school (early 80's), our classroom had a big boxed set of cards, each with a different logic puzzle. Your description of cards reminded me of SRA materials I remember having in elementary school. With a little searching, I wonder if your materials might not be the Thinklab series. You can read a bit here. They appear to be out of print. Regards, Kareni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underthebridge Posted May 23, 2015 Author Share Posted May 23, 2015 Thank you, that very well could be. I remember using SRA materials for reading at that age - a big box with color coded passages and comprehension questions. I will take a look! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underthebridge Posted May 23, 2015 Author Share Posted May 23, 2015 Kareni, you were spot on- this is what I was looking for! It came with a set of manipulatives as described. Unfortunately, I can't find a set anywhere! I found an old Amazon forum posting with one poster offering a set for sale and multiple posters offering to purchase. If I find anything similar I will repost to this thread. Thanks again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you'll find a set of your own in the near future. Regards, Kareni 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
