tammyw Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 We are almost finished with Orbiting With Logic 10, 9, 8, 7... grades 5-7. I'm wondering what we can pick up next since my son enjoys it. He is 10.5. TIA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Targhee Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 My DS at that age read Fallacy Detective for fun. There's another by same authors too. I have really liked Nance's Introductory Logic but I think it's best for somewhere in 7th-9th grade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 I wish there was a secular version of Fallacy Detective. I really like The Book of Bad Arguments, but it's a bit much for most kids in that age range, though not all and not with some guidance. Do you want to advance logical thinking and discussion or do you want more logical puzzles and so forth? The thing I liked about the Orbiting series was the way it combined the two with a variety of types of logic puzzles and formal logic. But I don't know of anything that does that in the same way that follows from that with all kinds of different logic puzzles and thinking. If anyone does, I'd love to hear it too.

nansk Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 The WTM 2nd ed recommends Critical Thinking 1 & 2 by Anita Hernadek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purpleowl Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I'm planning to use The Great Chocolate Caper after Orbiting with Logic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Job121 Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 The WTM 2nd ed recommends Critical Thinking 1 & 2 by Anita Hernadek. :iagree: and I like Red Herring Mysteries for grade 6-7. After finishing Introductory Logic and Intermediate Logic, my DS's were pretty confident in logic area. I think it definitely helped their debate skill too.
