Discovery of Deduction Teacher's Edition
The Discovery of Deduction: An Introduction to Formal Logic will welcome your students into the fascinating realm of formal, deductive logic. This text teaches students how an argument is put together—the form or structure of an argument. It pulls back the curtain to show students not only how arguments work, but also how to assess what's going on in their own minds.
The Discovery of Deduction Teacher's Edition features the entire student text, along with an answer key, teaching tips, sample essays, dialogues, and arguments.
The Discovery of Deduction is recommended for students who have studied informal fallacies, such as those taught in The Art of Argument: An Introduction to the Informal Fallacies; however, the text does also stand on its own as an independent study of formal logic.
The "let's get down to formal logic" book in the series, looking at reasoning in the abstract and focusing primarily on deductive reasoning. Through Socratic dialogue, definitional distinctions, and a sort of discussion/response format, the student is led through the study which includes a history of logic, propositions and their relationships, categorical syllogisms, and ends with terms and definitions. Appendices include Venn diagrams of syllogisms as well as an essay on handling religious, moral, and ethical disputes. Both Student and TE include Endnotes and Glossary, and Bibliography. 324 pgs. pb

The teacher’s book is a expanded version of the student text. It contains all the answers to the exercises, includes notes for teaching, and sample dialogues. For tests and assessments, you need to purchase a separate PDF. Personally, I did not buy the PDF; I just used some of the reviews in the book as an assessment. That seemed to work well enough for my goals for my student. I also required my child to find examples from the media and work through those, putting them in proper form and then analyzing them for validity and soundness. I would highly recommend buying the teacher book.
Teacher Editions are predominantly full-text answer keys but often include teacher's notes (a list of suggestions and recommendations for teaching the course) as well as ideas for supplementing and enriching the study. The TEs are recommended.
We tried it without the teacher book, but I need this.
