Balance Benders Level 2 Workbook, Logic and Algebraic Reasoning Puzzles (Grades 6-12)

Description

Balance Benders™ activities can be used as quick, fun logic problems or as stepping stones to success in algebra. Students develop problem-solving skills and pre-algebra skills as they solve balance puzzles that are more fun and addictive than Sudoku puzzles! Students must analyze each balance to identify the clues, and then synthesize the information to solve the puzzle. Try one–and then try to stop! Balance Benders™ puzzles spiral–gradually introducing more challenging concepts to give students the confidence and ability to master algebra word problems. These concepts include: • Deductive Thinking • Pre-Algebra • Analysis • Commutative Property • Distributive Property • Associative Property • Substitution Property of Equality and Inequality • Addition Property of Equality and Inequality • Subtraction Property of Equality and Inequality • Multiplication Property of Equality and Inequality • Division Property of Equality and Inequality Review: great book - I would recommend this book if you have anybody that is struggling with algebra or just wants to get a head start. My daughter loves the challenge and she is 10...She loves how she can now picture the problem in her head with all different shapes. I highly recommend this company if you have someone who doesn't like math. The problems switch up and gives them just enough challenge not to feel overwhelmed. Review: Great book for any kid that loves a mental challenge - Our 10 year old loves math and a good challenge- she got through this one and then stepped up to the third level book. Lots of pre-algebraic thinking. Highly recommend
