The A.B.C. Murders (Hercule Poirot, #13)

I try to get my math students to read mysteries, because the logical skills of finding a pattern and using inductive and deductive reasoning are often skillfully laid out. If you've read this book, you know why its one that I use to illustrate that point in my class. Sadly, the point is underappreciated by my high school students.

apart from the book review, students math plan was great
Nice approach but wasted effort on high school hooligans.

Asimov's book of science words, which I read out loud to them. What if...which I read out loud to them, and Physics of the Impossible, which I read out....wait a minute....
New plan.
You should also get them to read Ellery Queen for all those logical skills actually !My even broaden their vocabulary

I never guessed that Franklin Clarke was the murderer
I just want to read it but someone spoiled in this comment thank you
Having taught math and science for thirty years before retiring, and the doing some long-term math and science substituting, I fully understand your plight.
My wife read her 6th-grade students "And then there were none. They kept "score" on the board and really enjoyed putting together the clues.

John wrote: "My wife read her 6th-grade students "And then there were none. They kept "score" on the board and really enjoyed putting together the clues."That is a great book. I might try the idea of keeping score or trying to deduce the ending on the white board....
