Description Contents/Reviews/Awards Sample Pages   Grade(s): 5-8 Activities: 50 Pages: 63 The critical thinking and problem solving skills that are honed while solving puzzles are basic. They apply to every facet and subject area of learning. In solving puzzles, students make use of such thinking skills as logic, analysis, synthesis, sequencing, creativity, induction and deduction - and they must often use several of these simultaneously. They must observe, ask questions, consider strategies, try different strategies, visualize different possibilities, and figure out why one thing works and another does not. The puzzles in Puzzle It! Logic Puzzles and Tricks are primarily logic puzzles although they make use of many other problem-solving skills as well. Some of the puzzles are simply words and require careful reading. Other puzzles require visualization of something - like a necklace, a water container, or a line up of animals. Still others present a diagram or other graphic dilemma to solve. The puzzles are challenging however the solutions do not require complex or formal knowledge of mathematics. A young student might be on an equal footing with a math professor in tackling some of them. There is no age limitation. They're ready to solve - for anyone who enjoys a mental challenge. click here to view pdf file containing Table of Contents click here to view pdf file containing Sample Pages
