YEARLONG Themed Logic Puzzles Early Finishers and Brain Teasers Grades 4-6

Logic puzzlers and brain teasers are great for developing strong problem solving skills. Your students will use logic skills such as deduction, reasoning and inference in a fun way to systematically figure things out from a set of clues.

Your students will learn new interesting facts, build brain power and gain confidence as they complete these challenging puzzlers.

GRAB THE BUNDLE TO SAVE BIG!!!

Each month includes 3-4 differentiated themed logic puzzlers. Assign a logic puzzler to each student in your class that aligns to their ability!

Each puzzle includes a short passage introducing the problem that must be solved. The story pages have a letter on them indicating the difficulty level of the puzzler. Level A will be the least complex challenge up to level C-D, the most rigorous and largest of the puzzlers.

There is also an example page included as it is important to remind students how to eliminate incorrect options and mark their correct discoveries as they advance through the puzzler.
