  1. 2.1 Patterns and Inductive Reasoning Geometry Chapter 2: Reasoning and Proof

  2. How do you know? • Take a piece of paper. • Fold it in half then unfold it…How many rectangles do you have? • Refold the paper and fold it again. Unfold all the way…How many do you have now? • If you folded the paper in half 8 times…How many rectangles would you have?

  3. Inductive Reasoning • Reasoning based on patterns you OBSERVE • Used in science - Conclusions made by using the scientific method

  4. Finding and Using Patterns What are the next two terms in each sequence and what is the pattern description? • 3, 9, 27, 81, … • 45, 40, 35, 30,…

  5. Finding and Using Patterns What are the next 2 terms?

  6. Use Your Brain • In order to figure out the nth-term in a sequence, we make a logical conclusion. • Conjecture is a conclusion reached using inductive reasoning.

  7. Using Inductive Reasoning What conjecture can you make about the number of regions after 20 diameters are drawn?

  8. Make a Conjecture! • R, W, B, R, W, B, R, W, B, … • What will the 21st term be?

  9. Collect and Decide! • What conjecture can you make about the sum of the first 30 even numbers? • # of Terms Sum 1 2 = 2 = 1*2 2 2 + 4 = 6 = 2*3 3 2 + 4 + 6 = 12 =3*4 4 2 + 4 + 6 + 8 = 20 = 4*5 What about the first 30? 30*31 = 930

  10. You try it! • What conjecture can you make about the sum of the first 30 odd numbers?

  11. Use the Data Sales of backpacks at a nationwide company decreased over a period of six consecutive months. What conjecture can you make about the number of backpacks the company will sell in May?

  12. You are wrong! • To prove a conjecture WRONG, all you need is ONE counterexample. • Counterexample is an example that shows a conjecture is incorrect

  13. Prove me Wrong! • If the name of a month starts with the letter J, it is a summer month. • You can connect any three points to form a triangle.

  14. Practice Problems Page 85-87 #7-37 (odd) #38-55

  15. At the Rainbow Apartments, the trim is painted a different color on each floor. Use the clues below to find out what color the trim is painted on each floor. CLUES: • The bluetrim is on a higher floor than the green trim, but on a lower floor than the one painted yellow. • The pink trim is on the floor between the one with yellow trim and the one painted blue. • The green trim is on the lower floor than the one with lavender trim.

  16. Decide who is twins: • All sets of twins consist of a boy and girl. • Anna and her twin arrived on Monday • Al isn’t Anna’s twin • Cal and his twin arrived on Monday. • Sam arrived on Friday, but not with Jill • Nick and Ellen are twins. They arrived the day after Dana and her twin.

  17. Ticket out! What are the next two terms in each sequence? • 7, 13, 19, 25,… • What is a counterexample for the following conjecture? All four-sided figures are squares.
