Arithmetic Chains

Test your pupils' reasoning skills with several activities and a quick mystery to solve. Learners watch and analyze a few video clips that demonstrate reasoning in action, practice deduction with an interactive and collaborative...

How many people do you need in a room before two likely share the same birthday? Scholars consider this puzzle by analyzing a set of data. They ponder how to divide the data and determine the proper size of a group for this event to...

Let's get specific about the general conclusion. The video, a portion of an extensive geometry playlist, introduces inductive reasoning. Using patterns, the resource explains how inductive reasoning goes from the specific to general.

It is elementary, my dear Watson. A segment in a playlist on geometry introduces the idea of deductive reasoning. The video goes over three rules that apply to deductive reasoning and conditional statements.

Why is it a two-column proof? A video introduces the class to the concept of a two-column proof and how to set one up. The segment of a playlist on basic geometry highlights the types of reasons that can be in a proof.

Learners use inductive reasoning every day but might not realize it. An instructive video demonstrates that the process of inductive reasoning means searching for and identifying patterns. The instructor begins with numeric...

Can you use math and logic to beat the bad guys? You can in space! Take an intergalactic trip into a seedy and speedy crime syndicate with the Seven Planets Riddle, which challenges two interstellar police officers to use deductive...

In this induction worksheet, students read word problems.  They determine the difference between inductive and deductive reasoning.  Students solve the given problem through inductive reasoning.  This one-page worksheet...

Greet this resource like an old friend. An interactive has users investigate the number of handshakes required for a group to greet each member. A set of challenge questions ensures that learners have a solid understanding of the...

Students use logical arguments and inductive reasoning to make or disprove conjectures. After observing a teacher led demonstration, students discover that the deductive process narrows facts to a few possible conclusions. In groups,...
