FAQ
How do I use this logic puzzles worksheet?

What does this worksheet teach?
⌄
Solve four equations, then use clues to match Priya, Mateo, Jun and Chloe to each one. The directions on the page read: Solve each equation in its box. Then use the clues. In the grid, mark X where a match cannot be true and a dot where it must be true. Write each student's equation and solution in the table. An answer key is included.
Can I use this logic puzzles worksheet for homeschool or classroom?
⌄
Yes, both. We made it for 8th grade math puzzles, and it works the same at home or at school. At home, a student can work through it alone and then go over it with you, which shows quickly what is solid and what needs another look. In class it works as independent practice, homework or a warm-up, and you can print one copy or a full set.
How do you solve a logic grid puzzle?
⌄
Read each clue and mark X where a pairing cannot be true and a dot or circle where it must be. When a row has only one open square, it must be the match. Keep going until every square is marked.
What is a nonogram?
⌄
A nonogram is a grid puzzle where the numbers beside each row and column give the lengths of shaded runs. Shading only the squares the clues prove reveals a hidden picture, such as the hot air balloon in the 12 by 12 puzzle.
How do math clues fit into a logic grid?
⌄
Students first solve a problem, such as finding four slopes or four planter volumes, and then use those answers to apply the clues. Logic Grid, Kite Strings and Right Triangles uses the Pythagorean theorem this way.
