Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for pure logical reasoning material for elementary school level children.
I have seen math based logic books and material but dont know of any for analytical reasoning as such.
Ex: Some men are sailors. Some sailors are smart. And so, one can infer that.......can one?;-)

(I remember having used some material to prep for the GMAT analytical section but to unleash that on DD7 is a little overwhelming !!)
Thanks again for your response.

Hmm, I'd suggest checking out some of the workbooks in the mindware catalog. They had alot of logic style puzzles and workbooks, if I recall correctly.

Just fon't get hung up on the suggested ages smile

I second the mindware selection. Check out the Perplexors. So far we have tried only the Venn Perplexors B (for DS5), but the Grid ones sound good and could be what you are looking for.

I just notice they also have Math Perplexors. Is that new?

They are suposed to be for children who are a little bit behind, but if you get the one for older kids (8-10) they should work with your DD.
