ENIGMATIC-MIND

Engaging challenges with maths and logic



Matching, differences, hidden expressions, cancellations, swapping places, boxes to fill in, sudoku… and much more!


THE SERIES

Enigmatic-mind is a series designed to entertain and practice deductive and reasoning skills in math and logic. Composed of three volumes and particularly suitable for lower secondary school students, it offers fun and exciting logic challenges that involve numerical, calculation and “decoding” skills of written texts.


The challenges, structured on three levels of difficulty, encourage players to create their own strategies, making use of experience gained, intuition, deduction, and ingenuity.

They are in random order.  At the bottom of each sheet, you will find the numerical reference to the next challenge to be completed (on the same level as the previous one), in addition to the number of the sticker to be stuck into the puzzle grid corresponding to the level of the completed challenge.

Only by following the order of the challenges and correctly completing the puzzle grid, will it be possible to decipher a code and find a mysterious sentence!


CONTENTS

In each volume of the Enigmatic-mind series you will find:

60 logic challenges, organized in random order, on three levels of increasing difficulty:

EASY – for those who are not very confident in solving logic puzzles,

MEDIUM – for those who are beyond beginners, but not yet experts,

DIFFICULT – for those who want to challenge themselves with “brain-teasers”;


a puzzle grid for each level of difficulty to stick the stickers to decipher the code and discover the mysterious phrase;

stickers to stick into the puzzle grid, corresponding to each level of difficulty;


My notes – a space for doodles and making notes on deductions, intuitions, and logical considerations on the data and its implications;

the answers, round out the volume, in case help is needed or to check answers.


AUDIENCE

Enigmatic-mind is aimed at lower secondary school students, as a support tool to develop mental elasticity and as an alternative to “summer homework” activities.  Moreover, it is suitable for everyone who is looking for new challenges in which to try and keep their mind fresh and active
