Logic Problem: Indian Wars

this is a logic problem that can be used as a unit starter for the Indian Wars. it is essential that the students do not know the names, dates or outcomes of the battles before they begin, as this will undermine the logical thinking skills. i have used this activity with very mixed ability classes and have had some astounding results from all abilities. Its tricky to explain, but well worth it. I usually put it up on the board and go through the process of one clue with them - only one though!
