This is an amazing resource for teaching deductive reasoning in a non-threatening way. Students are given general stories followed by clues used to solve the perplexor. I use these in my math classroom yearly to help students improve their problem solving and deductive reasoning skills. There are four levels available allowing students to build skills.
