Love Home Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 I would like to fit in a logic course for my dd next school year (7th grade). She has never done one before, so what would be good one to start with? Something that is fun and fast would be great. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatholicMom Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 No idea, but I would love to know as well!! My two sons will be in 7th and 8th next year and as a philosophy major myself, I would love to introduce them to logic... hopefully something fun and lighthearted, but effective at teaching basic concepts.

texasmama Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 We used Art of Argument in 7th grade. It is blatantly Christian, FYI. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! After looking these over, I think that The Thinking Toolbox would be a nice, gentle intro to logic followed by The Fallacy Detective.

Homeschoolmom3 Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 We really liked The Fallacy Detective and The Thinking Toolbox for 7th grade. Then we went into more formal Logic. Great intro and fun! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
