This is it! Here's the perfect venue for intermediate teachers to
combine thinking skills and vocabulary development. Step into the
21st century with lessons that not only present students with
analogies, but also provide them with instructions on how to best
solve these verbal puzzles. An analogy is a comparison between two
things. It points out the similarities or likenesses between things
that might be different in all other respects. These exercises not
only build thinking skills and make students more flexible and
analytical; they also enhance vocabulary and writing skills.
Intermediate students will get a jump on thinking skills and test
taking strategies with these sure-to-please exercises. Whether this
book is their first encounter with analogies or whether they are
veterans with a great deal of experience, Analogies for the 21st
Century gives them the tools they need in a fun-to-use format. It
provides thinking strategies to help recognize the unique
relationships between paired items and how these relationships can
be replicated. Each lesson introduces new types of analogies, gives
examples, and offers hints on solving the analogies. Vocabulary
reflects today's culture, and helpful hints help students to build
skills that will allow them to perform better on tests. This is one
of a series of analogy books. For younger students, use First Time
Analogies or Analogies for Beginners. For older students, use
Thinking Through Analogies or Advancing Though Analogies. Grades
4-6
These imaginative puzzles are the pinnacle of this classic series
designed to sharpen deductive reasoning skills and strengthen the
ability to sort through information by formulating connections.
Created with the classroom teacher in mind, these puzzles are both
intriguing and easy to fit into lesson plans for the gifted and
talented, as well as many main course curriculums. Designed for
teachers frustrated with complicated logic exercises that are
beyond the scope of one class period, Connections are formatted for
success within 50-minute pullout programs. Each puzzle includes an
introduction, clues, a grid, and an illustration. Many educators
have found Connections the best exercise to introduce deductive
reasoning skills while enhancing enthusiasm. Exercises are simple
to use and gradually present ever-increasing challenges. The
thinking skills introduced dovetail easily into other aspects of
the curriculum. Capture students' attention and challenge their
intellectual talents with this first-rate series. The size of the
grids is an indication of difficulty. This book is the most
advanced in this series. For easier deductive thinking grids, check

This safari will send students on an expedition that will result in
hours of good thinking and unbridled enthusiasm. As enthusiasm
soars, so do the levels of thinking skills engaged. Students love
these deductive logic puzzles so much that they beg to do them,
little realizing that they are building important reading
comprehension and thinking skills. Teachers love these puzzles
because of their ease of use in multicurricular parallels and their
effortlessness in fitting into pullout programs of limited
duration. Each motivating puzzle includes an introduction with
student-related topics, clues, a grid, and an illustration. The
goal in Logic Safari is to hunt down the clues, sort, analyze, and
combine them into the correct solution. Each book represents an
ever-increasing challenge to students while scenarios remain fresh,
evoking renewed eagerness. The size of the grids is an indication
of difficulty. This is the first book in a three-part series of
deductive logic puzzles. For more advanced puzzles, see Logic
Safari Book 2 and Logic Safari Book 3. Grades 2-3
This classic series will excite students' imaginations while
enriching skills in logical thinking. Logic Countdown problems are
easy to incorporate into lesson plans and are formatted to enhance
the fullest spectrum of curriculum areas while sharpening thinking
skills. Challenging and instructional, these thought-provoking
books present sequential exercises in logical reasoning that
include relationships, analogies, syllogisms, sequences, deductive
reasoning, inference, truth-values, and logical notation. Simple
grids coupled with intriguing problems evoke enthusiasm and inspire
students to higher and higher levels of thinking. Each book builds
on concepts presented previously in the series to offer a
comprehensive logic adventure for young thinkers. The skills
students build by using this book are applicable to several areas
of the curriculum. Academic skills used for reading, math, writing,
and science all depend on the ability to perceive and define
relationships and to form inferences. But, beyond the academic
world, students will find logical thinking an integral part of
everyday life. This is the first in a three-book series designed to
sharpen children's logical thinking skills. Once students master
the skills presented in this book, they will be ready for new
challenges in Logic Liftoff and Orbiting with Logic. Grades 3-4

An analogy is a comparison between two things. It points out the
similarities between two things that might be different in all
other respects. Analogies cause us to think analytically about
forms, uses, structures, and relationships. This all-time favorite
resource not only gives students a chance to practice solving
analogies, but also invites them to open their minds to a
completely new way of analyzing the elements of analogies. Each
page introduces several categories of analogies. Each category
expands students' way of viewing the world and contrasting and
comparing elements. Thinking Through Analogies also instills the
tools whereby students can create relationships to enhance their
creative and formal writing, as well as to heighten their critical
thinking in test taking. Other books that teach analogies are
Analogies for Beginners and Analogies for the 21st Century. Grades
