Synopsis

Students love trying to solve challenging puzzles. So, why not build and review their math skills while they're having fun? More Math Logic Mysteries, the sequel to the best-selling Math Logic Mysteries, requires students to complete math problems and use deductive reasoning to unlock the clues needed to solve matrix-based logic problems.

Mathematical skills covered include measurement, number operations, geometry, probability, fractions, decimals, percentages, and algebra. The puzzles range from simple introductions to matrix-based problems, to more difficult puzzles that cover advanced math topics. Each reproducible puzzle is based on an enjoyable story your students will love as they attempt to solve problems and crack the mysteries.

This book includes a detailed how-to section for teaching logic puzzles and an in-depth answer key, so students can understand the thinking process behind each solution. After doing these fun and challenging puzzles, your students will ask for even More Math Logic Mysteries!
