Logic Puzzles - 1 - Birthday Presents
In this logic puzzle students have to use the information given in a story about four siblings to work out the days of the week their birthdays are on and what presents they received.
Once the students have read the story they have to extract the relevant information. They are then encouraged to enter into a grid what a piece of information tells them or does not tell them. By a process of small steps students can build up an overall picture of whose birthday is on which day and which present they received.
The activity includes:
- teacher notes
- presentation
- student activity sheet
- suggested solutions
- presentation containing an example to demonstrate the technique for solving this type of problem using a grid system
