Pair Exploratation Activity

You and your partner will receive two small pieces of paper.

Follow the directions on the paper.These are examples of Inductive

Reasoning.When you finish, pair-up with another

partnership sitting next to you.As a group of four, answer this question:

What is Inductive Reasoning?

Page 5: Reasoning & Logic

Inductive Reasoning - Defined

When you make a conclusion based on a pattern of examples or past events, you are using Inductive Reasoning.

Page 6: Reasoning & Logic

Inductive Reasoning – REAL LIFEhttp://images.iop.org/objects/phw/news/13/7/5/cloud.jpg

If you see dark, towering clouds approaching, what might you do?

Why?Even though you haven’t heard a weather

forecast, your past experience tells you that a thunderstorm is likely to happen.

What are some examples of decisions you made today based on past experiences or patterns that you observed?

Inductive Reasoning – Math Background

Originally, mathematicians used inductive reasoning to develop geometry and other mathematical systems to solve problems in their everyday lives. Euclid

Conjecture

You have just made a Conjecture.A Conjecture is a conclusion that you reach

based on Inductive Reasoning.A Conjecture is an educated guess.Sometimes a Conjecture is true, and other

times it may be false.How do you know whether your Conjecture,

about the regions formed by connecting points on a circle, is true or false?

Page 10: Reasoning & Logic

Conjecture – Test it!

One way to test the truth of a Conjecture is to try out different examples.

Test your Conjecture:◦Draw a circle with 6 points on it.◦Connect the points with segments.◦Count the regions formed by the pattern.◦Is your Conjecture true or false?

Page 11: Reasoning & Logic

Counterexample - Defined

A false example is called a Counterexample.

Page 12: Reasoning & Logic

Counterexample – REAL LIFE

Suppose you went out with friends for the past 5 Friday evenings. Each time, your parents told you to be home by 11:00 PM.

On the first Friday, you came home at 10:55 PM. The second Friday, you came home at 10:49 PM. The next three Fridays, you came home at 10:59 PM, 10:51 PM, and 10:42 PM respectively.

You plan to hang out again this Friday. Using Inductive Reasoning, what might be your parents’ Conjecture?

Remember that a Conjecture is a general statement using Inductive Reasoning…not a specific example.

What would be a Counterexample?

Page 13: Reasoning & Logic

Your Turn – REAL LIFE example

Write a Conjecture using Inductive Reasoning about a REAL LIFE example. Then give a Counterexample.

Share in groups of 4. Be sure to use the correct terms when discussing your example.

Deductive Reasoning

Even though patterns can help make a conjecture, patterns alone do not guarantee that the conjecture will be true.

In logic you can prove that a statement is true for all cases by using Deductive Reasoning.

Deductive Reasoning is the process of using facts, rules, definitions, or properties in a logical order.

Page 18: Reasoning & Logic

Deductive Reasoning - Example

If Marita obeys the speed limit, then she will not get a speeding ticket.

Marita obeyed the speed limit.

Therefore, Marita did not get a speeding ticket.

What was the fact, rule, definition, or property?

Notice the “If…then…” statement.

Page 19: Reasoning & Logic

Deductive Reasoning - Example

If Marita obeys the speed limit, then she will not get a speeding ticket.

Marita obeyed the speed limit.

Therefore, Marita did not get a speeding ticket.

The second sentence says that that the “If”-statement is true.◦If Marita obeys the

speed limit…◦Marita obeyed the

speed limit.Marita met the first

condition.

Page 20: Reasoning & Logic

Deductive Reasoning - Example

If Marita obeys the speed limit, then she will not get a speeding ticket.

Marita obeyed the speed limit.

Therefore, Marita did not get a speeding ticket.

Therefore, by Deductive Reasoning, the “then”-statement must be true.

Page 21: Reasoning & Logic

Deductive Reasoning - Restated

In other words…◦Deductive Reasoning starts with an If…then…

statement. This is a rule, fact, definition, or property. “If…then…” statements are called Conditional Statements.

◦Then, you look at an example. See whether or not it makes the “If…” statement true.

◦If so, we logically conclude that the “then…” statement is also true.

Page 22: Reasoning & Logic

Deductive Reasoning - Example

All students in Mr. Jackson’s Geometry class are enrolled at Bonneville High.

This is a fact.NOTE: If it is not a fact (rule,

definition, or property), then we can not use deductive reasoning.

Page 23: Reasoning & Logic

Deductive Reasoning - Example

All students in Mr. Jackson’s Geometry class are enrolled at Bonneville High.

Write a Conditional Statement (if…then…) using the rule.

“If you are a student in Mr. Jackson’s Geometry class, then you are enrolled at Bonneville High.”

Page 24: Reasoning & Logic

Deductive Reasoning - Example

“If you are a student in Mr. Jackson’s Geometry class, then you are enrolled at Bonneville High.”

Now comes the Deductive Reasoning (the logic) using a specific example.

Insert your name is a student in Mr. Jackson’s class.

This statement is a true statement.NOTE: If it were NOT true, we could not use

Deductive Reasoning. It would fail the “IF”-test.

Page 25: Reasoning & Logic

Deductive Reasoning - Example

“If you are a student in Mr. Jackson’s Geometry class, then you are enrolled at Bonneville High.”

Insert your name is a student in Mr. Jackson’s class.

Therefore, insert your name is enrolled at Bonneville High.

We conclude, by Deductive Reasoning that the “then” statement is also true.

Page 26: Reasoning & Logic

Deductive Reasoning – Guided Practice

Students that attend class every day, do their homework, and pass the tests will pass Geometry.

Write a Conditional Statement (if…then…).

Choose an example that would make the first condition (if-statement) true.

Use Deductive Reasoning to draw a logical conclusion.

Page 27: Reasoning & Logic

Deductive Reasoning – Paired Practice

Write a rule. Remember it must be true.Exchange “rules” with a partner.Write a Conditional Statement for your

partner’s rule.Exchange with another partner.Choose an example that makes the first

condition (if-statement) true.Pass it back to the owner.Use Deductive Reasoning to write a logical

conclusion.

Page 28: Reasoning & Logic

Deductive Reasoning - Restated

In order for something to be logical (or “TRUE” as we say it in Geometry), both conditions (the “If”-statement and the “Then”-statement) must be true.

Page 29: Reasoning & Logic

Deductive Reasoning – Math Example

Let’s look at the logic of math.RULE: “If you multiply two positive numbers,

then their product is also positive.”That rule is already a conditional statement.Deductive Reasoning: The two numbers (5)

and (8) are positive; therefore, their product is also positive.

Notice the words “IF,” “THEN,” and “THEREFORE.” These are commonly used in deductive reasoning.

Page 30: Reasoning & Logic

Deductive Reasoning – Independent Practice

Write a conditional statement about a rule in math.

Now choose an example that makes the first condition true.

Use deductive reasoning to state the conclusion.

Page 31: Reasoning & Logic

What’s the point of all of this?

Geometry Textbook pages 786-793 (Glencoe, 2006).

Many careers and hobbies involve Geometry.They all rely on Postulates and Theorems.Postulates are rules that we accept to be

true.Theorems are rules that have been proven to

be true using postulates and other theorems.They are both RULES; therefore we can use

them to logically explain our Geometric World.

Page 32: Reasoning & Logic

What’s the point of all of this?

In mathematics, you will come across many if-then statements.

Another example, “If a number is even, then it is divisible by 2.”

If-then statements join two statements based on a condition.

Conditional statements have two parts. The part following If is the hypothesis. The part following Then is the conclusion.

Page 33: Reasoning & Logic

What’s the point of all of this?

“If a number is even, then it is divisible by 2.”◦Hypothesis: A number is even.◦Conclusion: The number is divisible by 2.

In geometry, postulates are often written as if-then or conditional statements.

You can easily identify the hypothesis and conclusion in a conditional statement.

Page 34: Reasoning & Logic

What’s the point of all of this?

Find a postulate in the textbook (pages 786-793) and read it to yourself.◦What is the hypothesis?◦What is the conclusion?

Page 35: Reasoning & Logic

Extension

You may have noticed that not all postulates are clearly stated as if-then statements.

There are different ways to express a conditional statement.

The following statements all have the same meaning.◦If you are a member of Congress, then you are a U.S.

citizen.◦All members of Congress are U.S. citizens.◦You are a U.S. citizen if you are a member of

Congress.

Page 36: Reasoning & Logic

Extension – Guided Practice

What is another form of the statement, “All collinear points lie on the same line”?

Page 37: Reasoning & Logic

Extension – Paired Practice

With a partner, try this one:What is another form of the statement, “If

two lines are parallel, then they never intersect”?

Page 38: Reasoning & Logic

Converse

The converse of a conditional statement is formed by exchanging the hypothesis and the conclusion.

Let’s form the converse of some previous examples.◦“If you multiply two positive numbers, then their

product is also positive.”◦Hypothesis: Two numbers are positive.◦Conclusion: The product of the numbers is positive.◦Converse: “If the product of two numbers is

positive, then the numbers are positive.◦Can you think of a counterexample?

Page 39: Reasoning & Logic

Converse – more examples

“If you are a student in Mr. Jackson’s Geometry class, then you are enrolled at Bonneville High.”◦Hypothesis: A student is in Mr. Jackson’s Geometry

class.◦Conclusion: The student is enrolled at Bonneville

High.◦Converse: If you are a student enrolled at

Bonneville High, then you are in Mr. Jackson’s Geometry class.

◦Counterexample?

Page 40: Reasoning & Logic

Converse – Guided Practice

“If Marita obeys the speed limit, then she will not get a speeding ticket.”◦Hypothesis:◦Conclusion:◦Converse:◦Counterexample?

Page 41: Reasoning & Logic

Converse – Paired Practice

With a partner, form the Converse of this statement:◦“If a number is even, then it is divisible by 2.”◦Converse:

Is there a counterexample?

Page 42: Reasoning & Logic

Converse – Independent Practice

On your own, write the Converse of these conditional statements and write a counterexample if there is one:1. If a figure is a triangle, then it has three

angles.2. If you are at least 16 years old, then you can

get a driver’s license.3. If a figure is a square, then it has four sides.

Page 43: Reasoning & Logic

Converse – Paired Practice

With a partner, form the Converse of this statement:◦“If today is Saturday, then there is no school.”◦Converse:

Is there a counterexample?

Page 44: Reasoning & Logic

Critical Thinking

You have formed the Converse of several Conditional Statements.

If a conditional statement is true, is its converse always true?

What logical REASONING did you use to draw that conclusion?

Page 45: Reasoning & Logic

Inverses

The inverse of a conditional statement is formed by negating both the hypothesis and conclusion of the conditional.

Example:◦Conditional: If it is raining, then it is cloudy.◦Inverse: If it is not raining, then it is not cloudy.

Can you think of a counterexample?

Page 46: Reasoning & Logic

Inverses

What is the inverse of this conditional?If a figure has five sides, then it is a

pentagon.Can you think of a counterexample?

Page 47: Reasoning & Logic

Converse – Practice

Form the inverse of these conditional statements we have already seen. Determine if there is a counterexample.1. If Marita obeys the speed limit, then she will not

get a speeding ticket.2. If a number is even, then it is divisible by 2.3. If a figure is a triangle, then it has three angles.4. If you are at least 16 years old, then you can get

a driver’s license.5. If a figure is a square, then it has four sides.6. If you are a student in Mr. Jackson’s Geometry

class, then you are enrolled at Bonneville High.7. If today is Saturday, then there is no school.

Page 48: Reasoning & Logic

Truth Value – Notation

Mathematicians use symbols to represent words and phrases.

This is called “notation.”The purpose of mathematical notation is to

simplify the writing.Without mathematical notation, 2x2+3x-5

would need to be written, “Two times a number squared plus three times that number minus five.”

…and that is an easy one!

Page 49: Reasoning & Logic

Truth Value - Notation

In math, we sometimes use “Truth Tables” in order to analyze the truth of a statement.

A statement is any sentence that is either true or false, but not both.

Therefore, every statement has a Truth Value, true (T) or false (F).

Key Vocabulary – Note Taking

Fold a paper length-wise (fold goes from top to bottom).

On the left-hand side, you will write each of the Key-Vocabulary terms.

DO NOT LIST THEM ALL TOGETHER. You need to give yourself space, so do them one at a time.

Next to each term (still on the left-hand side), give a written explanation of everything that you can remember about it.

On the right-hand side, give examples or illustrations of your explanation.

After you finish one term, write about the next term.Be prepared to share your information.
