  • Logic puzzles are an engaging and accessible way to introduce students to deductive reasoning. Participants will break down the process of proof writing, connect the rules of logic puzzles to axiomatic proof systems, make conjectures, write “because statements,” and develop their ideas into simple proofs, modeling how to use these ideas with students.
