MamaBuzz Review: The Critical Thinking Co. Balance Benders Beginning Book
Through MamaBuzz reviews, we were given the chance to review The Critical Thinking Co. Balance Benders books.
"Move over Sudoku, here come Balance Benders™! You can use these books as quick, fun, logic problems or as stepping-stones to success in algebra. Students develop deductive thinking 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—then try to stop!"
Perhaps you'd like to print free activities with their new Printables Widget or add this to your blog?
They also have a new Critical Thinking Moments Video Contest and Critical Thinking Heroes Award Program! They love to recognize individuals who inspire critical-thinking skills and promote a thinking approach to teaching. Who would you nominate? Click over to check it out.
These books are $9.99 per level and can be purchased on their site. You may also find The Critical Thinking Co. on Twitter and Facebook.
We reviewed their Balance Beginning book for grades 2-6. One flip through this book and I knew my soon to be 2nd grader would know nothing about it. I handed it off to my 7th grader, and she was able to work a few problems. It sure made her concentrate on the problems and think them through. This book is 46 pages with Balance Tips and Solutions included. I think this book is great, it will keeps your kid's minds going. Looking at their site and their other books too look fabulous! You should check them out if you have children eager to keep learning!
I wrote this review for "Mommy? I'm Hungry!" about Balance Benders . I received free product to keep for this review from Critical Thinking Co. through Mamabuzz. All opinions for this review are that of myself & family. Product info & stock images provided by the Co.
