Identifying Patterns
Inductive reasoning- coming to a conclusion by recognizing a pattern in some
data.
Conjecture- the conclusion you come to by inductive reasoning.
Directions: Make a conjecture about each situation. Find the next item in each pattern.
1. Monday, Wednesday, Friday,…
2. 3, -6, 12, -24, 48,…
3.
Find a Counter Example
Counter example
Erroneous
Directions: Show that each conjecture is false by providing a counter example.

5. For any three points in a plane, there are three different lines that contain two of the points.

Multiplying a real number by 5 always makes it larger.
The only numbers smaller than 1 are negative
All your friends are ugly.
The smallest prime number is 3
You can make a polygon with at least 2 points.
Squaring positive numbers make them larger.
