Mind Benders Level 6 Workbook - Deductive Thinking Skills Puzzles (Grades 7-12)

I have been looking for Mind Benders like the kind I used to solve as a kid, and was ecstatic to find this offering on amazon! Book 6 is graded for ages from 7-12 grade and up, and is more of a review for me, but is a lot of fun and a good way to stretch the mind. This booklet has a nice overview of how to do these logic puzzles at the beginning, and all the answers in the back to check your work. So far, I've just done a few, but it appears there is a range of difficulty throughout (though books 7+ should be harder). Be aware though, these are all the exact same type of puzzles, with a scenario paragraph, followed by important clues, and a graph-like grid to log your deductions upon. I'm starting with Book 6 because it's been so long since I've done these, so I recommend these puzzles for adults who want a little brain workout during your downtime, but also for kids to help with reading comprehension, concentration, and deduction. These were a favorite amongst the kids in my 7th & 8th grade classes years ago, and I think they'd still be today. Booklet is 56 pages from first puzzle to last answer breakdown, and pages are perforated for easy copy or distribution in a classroom. Love this product, and can't wait to move up to the next once the cobwebs are cleaned out of my brain!

Great deductive puzzles.

Absolutely love these books. The set up helps keeps track of clues and facts and the simple (-) and (+) signs make it easier to know whats true or false instead of a statement or the word itself. And it forces you to think like a detective and practice critical thinking. This company is among the best I've ever read from they are definitely well constructed and teach all principles of critical thinking and i recommend any books from this seller.

Good puzzles for middles schoolers on summer break.

I did these as a kid and was thrilled to find them again! I enjoyed working through the book- the puzzles were pleasantly challenging and kept me engaged.

Very difficult!! I got a few puzzles but had to order the easier book and even that was difficult!!

These books are fantastic....so much so they’re on my child’s curriculum at our local classical education school for his logic class! Highly recommend!

Everything it said it was. Very challenging for my smart 15 yr old. It’s tough but makes u think.
