5.0 out of 5 stars logic puzzles: a great teaching tool, September 16, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: More Quizzles: Logic Problem Puzzles (Paperback)

I teach math at the middle school level and getting students to read thoroughly and understand word problems is a challenge. More Quizzles and its predecessor Quizzles teach students to pick apart and examine the math hidden in language. There is a wide range of difficulty in puzzles, but with practice, even the most difficult are managable. I do find, however, that I must do the puzzle and understand it before I do it with the class; this avoids embarrassment on my part.

Okay, so all I can say is that I must be some sort of a closet logic geek because I absolutely LOVE these puzzles! My advice is to buy the book, cut off the binding and make a copy and solve the copy because if you are even remotely like me you are going to have a hankerin' to do these puzzles again a few months down the road. Yep, I'm hooked!
