Topic 7-7 Make and Test Conjectures I can make and test conjectures It always rains when it is cloudy outside.
Lesson Video • Pearson Success Net
Vocabulary • Conjecture • A generalization that you think is true • All even numbers are divisible by 2. • I think this is true because 8, 10, and 12 can all be divided by 2. • The commutative property of multiplication is NOT a conjecture because it is a basic property of numbers.
Quick Write • How old are you? Is it reasonable to say that all sixth graders are 8? Why or why not?
Make a generalization about multiples of 10 • Use questions to help you write a conjecture • What are some multiples of 10? • 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 • What do you notice? Do they have anything in common? • They all end in 0. They are all even. • Using this data you could make a conjecture….
Conjecture All multiples of 10 end in 0 or All multiples of 10 are even
Test your conjecture • Find other multiples of 10 to see if you are correct. • Are other multiples of 10 even? Do other multiples of 10 end in 0? • If your answer is yes, then your conjecture is reasonable.
Test these conjectures… • The difference of two odd numbers is always even. • Use examples to decide if it is correct or not • The product of two prime numbers is never an even number. • Use examples to decide if it is correct or not
Make and test a conjecture about odd numbers. • A) Write down 2-3 questions you have about odd numbers • B) Pick one of the questions that you think you know the answer to • AB) Find examples that work for your conjecture
