Primarily Logic, Grades 2-4

Book info: Primarily Logic, Grades 2-4 (Kindle, 56 pages) – Prufrock Press, 2005. Language: English.

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. Primarily Logic 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:

• finding relationships,
• analogies,
• thinking logically using “all” and “none” statements,
• syllogisms, and
• deductive reasoning using logic puzzles.

Logical thinking is both enjoyable and challenging for students as they build a sound foundation for further instruction in critical thinking.
