Patterns to complete, sequences to continue and odd-one-out problems to settle make up the bulk of this logical reasoning workbook for older primary children.
The exercises train the habits that reasoning questions depend on: noticing what changes between items, testing a rule against every case, and discarding an answer that only works part of the time. Difficulty builds gradually across the book, and the puzzle format means a child is usually willing to attempt another one. For families preparing for entrance tests, this kind of steady practice tends to work better than occasional bursts.
Why readers pick it up:
• Pattern, sequence and odd-one-out exercises in graded order
• Puzzle presentation that makes repeated practice more palatable
• Directly relevant to the reasoning sections of entrance tests
• Suited to children of about nine and above
Useful to parents, teachers and home-schooling families building analytical skills; published by Dreamland Publications and stocked at Boipoka.
