Logic Puzzles - 3 - Going Shopping

In this logic puzzle students have to use the information given in a story about four friends who meet up in the city centre to go shopping. The challenge is to determine which area of the city each friend lives in, what they purchased, and who they gave their purchase to.

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.

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

Further education resources that link the world of logistics to suitable lessons and subjects in school can be found on the Generation Logistics Education Hub.
