This collection of fun mystery puzzlers is designed to strengthen problem solving and logical deductive reasoning skills. It is perfect for students in grades 7-12+ who want to think beyond stereotypes and recognize multiple meanings of words.
Each mystery is part of a longer behind-the-scenes story and students must deduce the rest of the story from clues derived from answers to their questions. Answers are often completely different from the expected answer, which encourages creative thinking and problem solving.
For example, in one mystery, a woman bought a bumper-to-bumper roof-to-road unlimited one-year warranty on all parts and labor. When the car broke down 3 months later, the woman found that she had to personally pay for all the repairs. By asking yes/no questions, students will eventually come to the correct conclusion that the salesman lied!
Questions must be in yes/no format, but hints may be given to redirect thinking. This resource is perfect for a warm-up or ending session, or just as a fun way to incorporate some critical thinking into the school day. The softcover book contains 72 reproducible pages.
