Inductive Reasoning

Reasoning based on patterns you observe

Conjecture

A conclusion you reach using inductive reasoning

We find the last picture using inductive reasoning

5.

A conjecture would be that the number of pieces in each pie is even

Ex 2A

Make a conjecture about the sum of the first thirty odd

Integers.

Ex 2B

Make a conjecture about the sum of the first 100 odd

Integers.

Counterexample

An example that proves a conjecture is False.

Give a counter example to prove each conjecture is false

Conjecture: Everyone in the room is wearing a red VCS polo

Counter example:

Conjecture: All prime numbers are odd

Counter example:

Conjecture: The quotient of two proper fractions is a proper fraction.

Counter example:
