Super IQ Maths Level 5 presents:
• 5 types of logical skills – matching, linear diagrams, tables, matrix and analogies – to help solve logic problems.
• Step-by-step worked solutions that lead students through the thinking process and solving the problems that followed.
• A table of mathematical terms that summarise the terms learnt in each topic.
The puzzles themselves are arranged in order of increasing difficulty. The last puzzle in each topic is significantly more challenging than the first. By understanding fully the solutions for the first three puzzles, you will be able to tackle the last puzzle confidently. Some topics require you to design your own logic problems to try on your friends. This will further strengthen the thinking skills used to solve logic problems. These entire efforts made will lead to improving your logical, analytical, critical, creative thinking skills as well as debating abilities. We strongly recommend this book to help stretch your mind to the fullest.
