Reteaching Using Deductive and Inductive Reasoning

Name Date Class Reteaching Using Deductive and Inductive Reasoning INV There are two types of basic reasoning in mathematics: deductive reasoning and inductive reasoning. Deductive reasoning bases a conclusion on laws or rules, while inductive reasoning bases a conclusion on an observed pattern. Both types are used to support conclusions. Two statements form an argument. Identify the premise and conclusion. Then classify the reasoning as deductive or inductive. Miguel multiplies several numbers. He then says that 5 5. The premise is the pattern that Miguel sees. The conclusion is 5 5. Miguel uses an observation to support his conclusion. He uses inductive reasoning. When your premise is based on proven laws or rule, you are using deductive reasoning. If you are using the laws or rules properly, the conclusion will always be correct. With inductive reasoning, your conclusion is based on patterns and observations. With this type of reasoning, your conclusion is supported, but may not be correct. Hank says that 5 5a because the identity property of multiplication says that for any number a, a a, The premise is the identity property. The conclusion is 5 5. Hank uses a proven law to support his conclusion. He uses deductive reasoning. Complete the steps to identify the type of reasoning as deductive or inductive.. The temperature has been greater than 70 for the past 5 days, so it will be greater than 70 tomorrow. The premise is based on an observation, so this is inductive reasoning.. The power of a power rule says to simplify a power of a power, multiply the exponents, so The premise is based on a rule, so this is deductive reasoning. Identify the type of reasoning as deductive or inductive.. One pound equals 6 ounces, so 6 ounces equal pounds. deductive Saxon. All rights reserved. 87 Saxon Algebra

The Mustangs have not lost a game all season, so they will win Tuesday s game. inductive A conditional statement is written in if-then form. The hypothesis follows the word if, and the conclusion follows the word then. Conditional statements may be true or false. One way to show that a statement is false is to give a counterexample. Identify the hypothesis and conclusion. Then give a counterexample. If a number is multiplied by a negative number, then the product is negative. Hypothesis: a number is multiplied by a negative number Conclusion: the product is negative This statement is not true because the product of negative numbers is positive. A counterexample is (5)() 0. Complete the steps to identify the hypothesis and conclusion. Then give a counterexample. 6. If a month has exactly 0 days, then it must be September, April, or June. Hypothesis: a month has exactly 0 days Conclusion: It must be September, April, or June. Counterexample: November also has 0 days. Identify the hypothesis and conclusion. Then give a counterexample. 7. If a number is prime, then it is odd. Hypothesis: Conclusion: Counterexample: A number is prime. It is odd. is a prime number and is not odd. 8.
