Deductive Reasoning: Lesson

Not all relationships with a pattern are proportional. Show your class why in the fourth installment of a 22-part series. The lesson builds upon previous parts and has pupils analyze tables to determine whether they represent a...

Your class may believe that geometry is a trial, but they don't know how right they are. A thorough math lesson combines the laws of logic with the laws of geometry. As high schoolers review the work of historical mathematicians and...

Explore the process of inductive and deductive reasoning. A collaborative lesson has some groups apply an inductive approach and others a deductive approach. Through class discussion, scholars compare their processes and discuss...

Use the 20 Questions game to practice math vocabulary and number properties! Project a hundreds chart and hand one out to learners. Ideally, give them counters (beans would work well) to mark off the chart so you can play multiple times....

Scholars determine how long it takes to build a birdhouse with the second activity on using equations with proportional relationships. The resource uses examples such as birdhouse building and produce prices to encourage pupils to write...

The 15th segment in a series of 22 uses examples that present proportional relationships with fractions. Pupils work through the problems and discover that the process is the same as it is with whole number values. Graphing the...

What do those points on the graph mean? The 10th instructional activity in a series of 22 presents proportional relationships as graphs. Class members interpret various points of the graph — including the origin — within the context of...

Let's get specific about the general conclusion. The video, a portion of an extensive geometry playlist, introduces inductive reasoning. Using patterns, the resource explains how inductive reasoning goes from the specific to general.

Learners use inductive reasoning every day but might not realize it. An instructive video demonstrates that the process of inductive reasoning means searching for and identifying patterns. The instructor begins with numeric...

Video gives example of solving a radical equation with all steps given. Goes through checking the answer and discusses whether the problem uses inductive or deductive reasoning.
