Mind Benders, our best-selling deductive thinking puzzles, develop logic, reading comprehension, and mental organizational skills that are vital to achieving high grades and top test scores in all subjects. They're also great for developing real-life, problem-solving skills. Methods, your students will learn to carefully analyze each mind Benders puzzle and its clues, identifying logical associations between people, places, and things. The key is to start with the most obvious associations, then deduce less obvious associations until everything finally fits together. Teaching support includes step-by-step instructions and detailed answers. Book levels spiral in difficulty within grade range.

My second grader resolved it pretty fast. I expected her to come to me with question, but, instead, she just brought me solved puzzle and couldn't wait for me to check if she was correct.Great mind exercise. Wish the book would have more pages.

We've added mind benders to our homeschooling this year to help develop critical thinking skills. My 7yr old loves puzzles & these are no exception. She finished the entire Level 2 book & we went right into level 3. She needs a little more help with level 3, but I don't think she will for long. Fun puzzles, love doing them together

5.0 out of 5 stars Parents who think these are impossible don't understand logic puzzles.
Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2019
Verified Purchase
Arguably these are difficult puzzles for third graders. However, they're all quite possible. Logic puzzles are all about inductive reasoning and process of elimination. *Almost* always the clues provide answers about which item CANNOT be another item, and many include clues like "a cat, a large dog, a goat, and a horse" and then later make references to "$name and $name2 and $name3 are the largest of the four animals", or gender specific names (Julie, or Harold) are referenced later as "is _____'s aunt".

I also REALLY like that it uses a lot of less common names, a lot of nationalities, and doesn't pay any attention to "traditional" roles---for example female race car drivers or male nurses.

The ONLY critique I have is that it's not very long. I wish there were more for $11. For reference, my son is rocking these out and will start the third grade in a few weeks.

This rating site suggests that “(I) could mention thickness & stretch” about workbooks I ordered! I already completed a survey about the sofa covers. Please check on this situation.

My doctor recommended the Mindbender books after my stroke (Sub Arachnoid Hemorrhage). They are really hard!

“A Construction Tale” (Level 3, page 32) appears to have some discrepancies. Glue, paste & caulk are mentioned in the clue; however, the chart includes tar, tape & caulk!

Please correct this so brain injured persons like myself are not more confused than we already are!

P.S., Would you consider rewarding my recognition of this editing oversight with more workbooks? I need all the help I can get!

5.0 out of 5 stars Engaging and fun--
Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2012

I bought this as a summer activity book for my rising 4th grader...he was initially opposed to it and decided it would be 'too hard' as he'd not seen this type of thinking game before. I started bringing it to the dinner table and working one or two of the puzzles and once he got the hang of it I caught him doing some himself when he didn't think I was watching.

There are varying degrees of difficulty and most are suitable for his level. Basically 2 or 3 sentences are generally given and from the information you are challenged to figure out what two things are related---hide and seek spots, matching last names to first names, favorite sports etc. Lots of fun and appropriate for the 3-6 grade noted on the front cover.

Recommended!

Bought this for my third and fourth grader. They love it and ask to do one everyday after school is done for the day. We homeschool and I was looking for something to help increase logical thinking/problem solving skills. This was the perfect item for the job.
My husband and I enjoy doing them along with them as well.
Planning to get the next grade level for our next school year.

5.0 out of 5 stars 10 year old really enjoying this book.
Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2014

I got this book since it was recommended in "The Well Trained Mind" to do logic work as part of a homeschool curriculum.
My daughter doesn't see this as part of her "work" at all. Whenever I pull this book out, she cheers. It is challenging, at least to her since we haven't done anything like this before. She likes to figure out the clues and reread them when she realizes she might have missed something.
We work on this book about twice a week. It's a nice break to do something fun (even if it's making her brain work)!
