Description and Features

This 48-page book contains several of our best-selling deductive thinking puzzles. It develops the logic, reading comprehension, and mental organization skills vital to achieving higher grades and top test scores in all subjects. These award-winning, fun puzzles are also great for developing real-life, problem-solving skills!

Students learn to carefully analyze each Mind Benders® story and its clues, identifying logical associations between people, places, and things. The key is to make sure you get all the information out of each clue, by starting with the most obvious associations, then deducing the less obvious associations until everything finally fits together.

Step-by-step instructions and detailed answers are included. Puzzles increase in difficulty.

I just wanted to let you know how much my children LOVE your Mind Benders® books! It is the favorite part of their homeschooling day! My 10-year-old son especially loves them and would sit down and work his way through his book in one setting, if I let him. He has even started to sneak and do his sister's high school puzzles. I hope to pick him up Level 4 soon, but until then, he is LOVING working through Level 3. Thank you!

For over 34 years I have taught gifted and high-achieving children and young adults. When I created MERIT, a program that pulled gifted students for one day a week, I used The Critical Thinking Co.™ materials exclusively. Mind Benders®, Critical Thinking, etc. Today I am retired and use your materials... especially for bright autistic students, and my 'twice exceptional' students. Without a doubt, your company's materials have helped me become one of Tennessee's two National Teachers' Hall of Fame inductees! I owe a lot to your wonderful and unique materials.

Mind Benders® has helped our students perform better on multiple choice tests. The puzzles improve reading comprehension and sequencing as well as general critical thinking. Our scores keep going up!

We love your Mind Benders®....I find the deductive reasoning invaluable. It has helped my [students] very much. They love to figure them out. I have observed them using the deductive thinking in other areas of study and just in daily problems or situations.

These books are great for stimulating a child's thinking skills needed for other schoolwork, standardized tests, and problems in daily life…and kids think they're fun!

Some of our students who've returned home from college tell us that, of all the things they picked up in the gifted program, the one thing that helped them most was the Mind Benders®.
