Embark on an exciting expedition with Logic Safari, where students dive into engaging problem-solving activities! As their excitement grows, so will their critical thinking and reading comprehension skills. Beloved for their versatility, these activities effortlessly integrate into multicurricular lessons and pullout programs with limited time. Each puzzle is thoughtfully designed with relatable introductions, clear clues, a grid, and vibrant images (now in color!) to keep students motivated. The challenge lies in hunting down clues, sorting, analyzing, and piecing them together to uncover the correct solution. With each book, the puzzles become increasingly complex, while fresh scenarios keep students excited and engaged. These deductive logic puzzles are so captivating that students eagerly tackle them, unaware of the valuable skills they’re building along the way. This is the first book in the three-part Logic Safari series. For other levels of challenge, explore Logic Safari Book 2 and Logic Safari Book 3.
