Mental workout for toddlers

Many of these mysteries have been well known since Soviet times, but still do not lose their relevance. The answers to them are so simple and obvious that it is almost impossible to guess right away. Ready? Then full speed ahead!

1. “Why do you go to bed when you want to sleep?” The whole "chip" of this question lies precisely in the wording. After all, if you say it out loud, the brain immediately perceives the first two words as one. Why? Well, how is this "why"? You can lie down on the bed, cover yourself with a blanket, close your eyes and ... And, by the way, the correct answer is "On the floor."

2. "When can a person be in a room without a head?" Another logic question with an elementary answer. However, reaching right decision it can be very difficult for a child, because not even every adult can immediately guess what happens when we stick our head out the window.

3. "Can an ostrich call itself a bird?" You may be surprised, but no special knowledge from the field of zoology is needed in order to correctly answer this question, because even the most educated and erudite ostrich will not be able to name himself in any way. At least because he can't speak.

4. “Which words have a hundred consonants?” And here the child will undoubtedly become thoughtful. After all, it is difficult to even imagine such a word - as many as 100 consonants, and if you add vowels as well? What kind of lexical monster is this? But the correct answer, as always, lies on the surface - “STOL”, “STOP”, “STOP”, “STOP”, “STOP”.

5. “In front of you is a bathtub filled with water. On the edge lies a mug and a spoon. What should be used to quickly remove all the water from the bath? Think it's a mug? Because she's bigger? But a rational person, looking at your torment, will silently come up and pull out the cork.

6. “Three little pigs were walking through the forest. One walked ahead of the two, one behind them all, and one between the two. How did they go? To be honest, even adults often cannot answer such questions of logic with a catch. In fact, the pigs in this riddle are just following each other.

7. “The bull plowed the field all day. How many footprints did he eventually leave on the arable land? In fact, the bull leaves no traces at all, because the plow that he pulls behind him erases them.

8. “At 12 o'clock in the morning there is a torrential downpour. Could it be that after 72 hours there will be warm, sunny weather? No theory of probability will help you here, relax. But knowing how many hours in a day will help - there can be no sunny weather. If only because after the indicated 72 hours it will be midnight again.

So, we have considered some curious logic questions for children. And now let's move on to other, more complex and interesting tasks.

Other logic puzzles

We bring to your attention other interesting questions on logic that can make you think not only for kids, but also for their parents.

Wordplay

“On the seashore lay a stone, on the surface of which a word of 8 letters was scratched. When the rich read this word, they began to cry, the poor, on the contrary, rejoiced, and couples in love parted. What was that word? We will not comment on the answer in any way, because everything will become clear by itself. And the word was - "Temporarily."
“What word has 3 letters “l” and 3 letters “p” at once? - "Parallelepiped".

For math connoisseurs

“How much earth is in a hole 3 meters in diameter and 5 meters deep?” Still trying to count and looking for density different types soil? Don't forget that this is a question of logic. Already by the fact of its existence, the pit is empty, otherwise it would not be a pit.
"How many times can you subtract 6 from 30?" Don't share, take away! Just one, because next time you will no longer subtract 6 from 30, but from 24.

Vital

“Two friends were walking around the city and suddenly stopped, starting to argue. One began to assert that "this is red." Another objected to him and said that "this is black." The first was not at a loss and asked: "Why, then, is she white?", To which he heard: "Yes, because she is green." What were they talking about?" The correct answer to this riddle is currant.
“Three centuries ago, this procedure was carried out at a distance of 50 meters. Now this distance has been reduced by 10 times, and all thanks to the invention of a Soviet scientist, which you have probably seen more than once. What is it?" Nothing comes to mind? In fact, we are talking about a table for checking eyesight, also known as

American scientists, who came across this picture and questions to it, considered that this is one of the most effective IQ tests in the history of mankind. Take a close look at the image, and then try to give the correct answer to just 9 questions.

Questions

How many tourists stayed at this camp?
How long ago did they come here: today or a few days ago?
How far is the camp from the nearest settlement?
How did the tourists get here?
What time of day is it now?
Where does the wind blow: from the south or from the north?
Where did Shura go?
Give the name of the person who was on duty yesterday.
What is the date and what month?

Right answers

Breaking your head? Well, time to reveal the cards and demonstrate how elementary the answers are to even the most difficult logic questions:

Four. To understand this, just look at the list of attendants (it has four lines), as well as the number of plates and spoons on the mat.
Not today, because between the tree and the tent, a nimble spider managed to weave a cobweb.
It is unlikely, because the guys were able to bring with them live chicken(or she ran into them by accident, which, however, does not change the essence).
On the boat. Near the tree you can see a couple of oars, and since the cars in Soviet time there were not very many, this is the most logical answer.
Morning, because the shadow falls in west side so the sun is shining from the east.
This question on logic really requires additional knowledge. For example, you need to remember that south side tree branches are always longer than those on the north. Next you need to look at the fire - it deviates slightly towards the north, which means that the wind blows from the south.
Shura went to catch butterflies - from behind the bushes you can see a net falling on a winged beauty.
As you can see, Shura went for butterflies, and the boy sitting near the backpack with the letter "K" is Kolya. That is, two options already disappear. Another boy is taking pictures surrounding nature. He also cannot be on duty. But what is his name? Looking closely, you can see that in the backpack with the letter "B" is a tripod - an indispensable attribute of the photographer. We conclude that the name of the photographer begins with the same letter, which means that Vasya is photographing. By the method of elimination, we find out that Petya is on duty today, and from here we come to the conclusion that Kolya was on duty yesterday.
The answer to this question is closely related to the previous one. So, Petya is on duty today. Near his name, the number 8 is written on the board - the 8th number. As for the month, the very situation in the picture suggests that it takes place in August - only then do watermelons appear in our latitudes. Of course, there are also in September. But it can be quite difficult to find butterflies in early autumn, and the first fallen leaves appear on the ground.

Interesting? Did you know that only 6% of people can answer all 9 questions correctly? If you succeeded, you can accept congratulations, because this means that your IQ is 130 or more.

LOGIC TASKS

Logic tasks , as well as mathematics, is called "mind gymnastics". But unlike mathematics, logic puzzles- this is an entertaining gymnastics, which in an exciting way allows you to test and train thought processes, sometimes in an unexpected perspective. To solve them, you need quick wit, sometimes intuition, but not special knowledge. Solving logic problems is to thoroughly analyze the condition of the problem, to unravel the tangle of contradictory connections between characters or objects. Logic tasks for children- these are, as a rule, whole stories with popular actors in which you just need to get used to, feel the situation, visualize it and catch the connections.

Even the most challenging tasks on logic do not contain numbers, vectors, functions. But the mathematical way of thinking is necessary here: the main thing is to comprehend and understand the condition logical task. The most obvious decision on the surface is not always the right one. But more often than not, solving a logic problem turns out to be much simpler than it seems at first glance, despite the confusing condition.

Interesting logic tasks for children in a variety of subjects - mathematics, physics, biology - arouse their increased interest in these academic disciplines and help in their meaningful study. Logic tasks for weighing, transfusion, tasks for non-standard logical thinking help in Everyday life solve everyday problems in a non-standard way.

In the process of decision logic tasks you will get acquainted with mathematical logic - a separate science, otherwise called "mathematics without formulas." Logic as a science was created by Aristotle, who was not a mathematician, but a philosopher. And logic was originally part of philosophy, one of the methods of reasoning. In the work "Analytics" Aristotle created 20 schemes of reasoning, which he called syllogisms. One of his most famous syllogisms is: “Socrates is a man; all men are mortal; So Socrates is mortal. Logic (from other Greek. Λογική - speech, reasoning, thought) is the science of correct thinking, or, in other words, "the art of reasoning."

There are certain methods solving logic problems:

way of reasoning, with the help of which the simplest logical problems are solved. This method is considered the most trivial. In the course of the solution, reasoning is used that consistently takes into account all the conditions of the problem, which gradually lead to a conclusion and the correct answer.

tables way, used in solving text logic problems. As the name implies, solving logical problems consists in building tables that allow you to visualize the condition of the problem, control the process of reasoning, and help draw the right logical conclusions.

graphs way consists in enumeration options development of events and the final choice of the only right decision.

flowchart method- a method widely used in programming and solving logical transfusion problems. It consists in the fact that, first, operations (commands) are allocated in the form of blocks, then the sequence of execution of these commands is established. This is the block diagram, which is essentially a program, the execution of which leads to the solution of the task.

billiard way follows from the theory of trajectories (one of the sections of probability theory). To solve the problem, draw a pool table and interpret the actions of the movements of the billiard ball along different trajectories. In this case, it is necessary to keep records of possible results in a separate table.

Each of these methods is applicable to solving logical problems from different areas. These seemingly complex and scientific techniques can be used in solving logic problems for grades 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.

We present you with a variety of logical tasks for grades 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. We have selected for you the most interesting tasks on logic with answers which will be interesting not only for children, but also for parents.

choose for the child logic puzzles according to his age and development
