Connections - Introductory

Connections - Introductory (Book 1) by Bonnie L. Risby

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, 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 childrens' attention and challenge their intellectual talents with this first-rate series.

The size of the grids is an indication of difficulty. For higher grades or gifted and advanced classes, check out the rest of this series Connections - Beginning, Connections - Intermediate, and Connections - Advanced (see links below).
