Primarily Logic

It's never too early to start building thinking skills—skills that will spill over into other areas of the curriculum and into real life. <i>Primarily Logic</i> consists of a series of units designed to introduce logical thinking to young students. It is an excellent, easy-to-use starting point for teaching well-established forms of logical thinking. Each skill is introduced with examples, and then worksheets give students an opportunity to practice the skill. Group lessons and worksheets provide practice in: <UL><LI>finding relationships, <LI>analogies, <LI>thinking logically using “all” and “none” statements, <LI>syllogisms, and <LI>deductive reasoning using logic puzzles. </UL> Logical thinking is both enjoyable and challenging for students as they build a sound foundation for further instruction in critical thinking. Suggestions for related activities are included in the Instructions for Teachers section.<BR><BR>For easier logic activities for younger students, try <i>Lollipop Logic</i>.<br><br>Grades 2-4
