001. A book of Challenges for Your younger relatives. 
2012-1-20

If you are reading these words, you find value in brain teasers, puzzles, and math challenges. If you have a child, niece, and/or nephew, you would likely want that little one to be good at solving them, too.

Carol Eichel's Fifth Grade Brain Teasers (see icon, at right) has lots of brain-stretching challenges for children at about the fifth grade level. Some of them test general information that the younger set will not have, and may give you the chance to briefly bring them up to speed, point by point.

Try these on your young ones:

p. 3 Fifteen "Famous Pairs", including:

           "Hansel and _______
           "Laverne and _______"

pp. 8-12. Logic Puzzles that you can help you youngsters solve with logic matrices. (You can't try them, here, but the book has five.)

pp. 14-15. 24 "Hidden Meanings", such as
                 LE
                     VEL

p. 69. Idiomatic Expressions, e.g.,

"When Jessica said, 'That movie took my breath away," she meant ...

 

Answers

 p.3
          "Hansel and Gretel.
          "Laverne and Shirley.

pp. 14-15
                "Split level."

p. 69.
      "...that she was astonished."

For your children, nieces, and nephews

If you want to make sure your little loved ones are "smarter than a fifth grader", consider giving them Carol Eichel's book, Fifth Grade Brain Teasers.

Much of it is general knowledge, presented as a challenge. Little in the book seems to come from an elementary school curriculum, but that makes it a good complement for school.
