It's no secret that I greatly admire Jessie Wise's The Well Trained Mind. It was Wise's recommendation that led me to the Mind Benders books, and my son and I learned a great deal working through the four A books. They were ample preparation for the more rigorous course of logic study we've undertaken this year. A word to others who have landed here because of Wise's book: Unless you are a professor of logic, you really must invest in the companion books, Mind Benders Instructions and Detailed Solutions and Warm Up Mind Benders.

Mind Benders A! is really popular with my children (9 and 13 and their friends). Take Note that this 2000 edition has the complete solutions are in the back of the book. Thanks to The Well Trained Mind for suggesting this book.

These problem solving activities are a great way for your kids to exercise their brains. My 2nd grader loves them! But even my kindergartener can do them with a little help. We always make a copy of the answer chart so that we can use them again and again. I remember doing these puzzles when I was in school. A great way to spend some time without having to plug-in!

Mind Benders is wonderful! Your students will love to try to solve the logic problems. Sometimes kids want to give up on problem solving, but not with Mindbenders!

My daughter and I found the Mind Bender Series to be so much fun! So far we have completed A1-A3. We are addicted. The series is a wonderful beginning in logic.
