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.
