Inductive Reasoning #1 What patterns do you notice? 1 x 9=9 6 x 9 = 54 2 x 9 = 18 7 x 9 = 63 3 x 9 = 27 8 x 9 = 72 4 x 9 = 36 9 x 9 = 81 5 x 9 = 45 9 x 10 = 90

Inductive Reasoning #1 What patterns hold? 1 x 9=9 9 x 11 = 99 2 x 9 = 18 9 x 12 = 3 x 9 = 27 9 x 13 = 4 x 9 = 36 9 x 14 = 5 x 9 = 45 9 x 15 = 6 x 9 = 54 9 x 16 = 7 x 9 = 63 9 x 17 = 8 x 9 = 72 9 x 18 = 9 x 9 = 81 9 x 19 = 9 x 10 = 90 9 x 20 =

Inductive Reasoning #1 O Will this pattern continue forever? How do you know? 9 x 12 456

Inductive Reasoning #1 Conjecture: The successive sums of the digits in any multiple of 9 will ultimately equal 9. Prove whether the statement above is true or false.

Inductive Reasoning #2 O Conjecture: O How would you prove your conjecture?

Inductive Reasoning O The previous examples drew on your inductive reasoning skills. With a partner, discuss the concept of inductive reasoning. Together, create a one sentence description of Inductive reasoning.

Critique the Statement Decisions can be made and actions taken based upon inductive reasoning

Deductive Reasoning #1 At school, Kim, Terry, Robyn, and Dale all enjoy different subjects. O Terry likes Phys. Ed. and always carries gym clothes.
