Featured Sponsor - The Bluedorns of Trivium Pursuit!

3:48 PM, Aug. 26, 2007

Laurie and Harvey Bluedorn of Trivium Pursuit  are graciously sponsoring the giveaway for the coming week and the two bloggers chosen by Tia will each win a copy of The Thinking Toolbox.

 

If you have never visited Trivium Pursuit then you are in for a treat!  Their website is full of wonderful articles to read - I think my favorite is Ten Things to do with Your Child Before the Age of 10 - a definite must-read!  Trivium Pursuit has even more items available in their online catalog ... so visit them today!

The Thinking Toolbox

learning_logic_cover.gif (8130 bytes) 

 

This book is like a toolbox, full of different kinds of tools you can use for different thinking tasks. Just as you use the wrench to fix the sink, so you can use the tools we give you in this book to solve thinking problems.

We wrote this book for children and adults who want to learn logic and critical thinking skills. The Thinking Toolbox follows the same style as The Fallacy Detective with lessons and exercises and an answer key in the back. Parents and teachers, as well as anybody who wants to learn logic, will find The Thinking Toolbox easy to use and practical.

Features

  • Fun to use – not dry like a math textbook
  • Can be used after or before The Fallacy Detective
  • Introductory – teaches skills you can use right away
  • Self-teaching format
  • For ages twelve and older
  • Over 60 cartoon illustrations by Richard LaPierre

This looks interesting!

I popped over and had a look around. I love that article about Ten Things to Do With Your Child Before the Age of 10.
