Practice inductive reasoning and conjectures with number and picture patterns. Identify missing numbers, predict sequences, and find counterexamples to solidify your understanding. Complete the given sequence challenges for effective learning.
E N D
Objective: Use inductive reasoning to make conjectures, use inductive reasoning in number/picture patterns
Problem Mrs. Magers has given her Geometry class a pop quiz every Tuesday for the past 3 weeks. On Monday afternoon, Natalie told Imari to go home and study her Geometry notes. Why?
Inductive Reasoning and Patterns • Inductive Reasoning is reasoning based on observed patterns. (We assume the observed pattern will continue. This may or may not be true.) • A conjecture is a conclusion reached through inductive reasoning. (Remember, the conjecture seems likely, but it is unproven)
A single counter-example is enough to disprove a conjecture. • Example Conjecture: The difference of two integers is less than either integer. • 6-4 = 2 • 10-7 =3 • Can you find a counterexample? 8-(-15) = 23
Given the pattern _____, -6, 12, _____, 48, … • a. Fill in the missing numbers. • b. Determine the next two numbers in this sequence. • c. Describe how you determined what numbers completed the sequence. Be sure to explain your reasoning. • d. Are there any other numbers that would complete this sequence? Explain your reasoning.
Ex: Find the next two terms and indicate the process for generating the next term. 1) 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, ___, ___ 2) 1, 3, 7, 15, 31, 63, ___, ___ 49 64 127 255
