LESSON:

INDUCTIVE
REASONING AND
CONJECTURE
OBJECTIVES:

› Make conjectures based

on inductive reasoning.
› Find counterexample.

2
MAKE CONJECTURES
› A conjecture is an educated guess based
on known information.
› Examining several specific situations to
arrive at a conjecture is called inductive
reasoning.
› Inductive Reasoning is reasoning uses a
number of specific examples to arrive at
a plausible generalization or prediction.
3
Example 1: Patterns and Conjecture
HELLO!
The numbers represented below are called triangular
numbers. Make a conjecture about the next triangular number
based on the pattern.

Observe: Each triangular is formed by adding another row of

dots.
4
 HELLO!
Observe: Each triangular is formed by adding another row of
dots.
Pattern:

Conjecture:
The next number will increase by 6.
So, it will be 15 + 6 or 21.
5
Example 2: Geometric Conjecture
HELLO!
Make a conjecture and draw a figure to illustrate your
conjecture.
Given: P, Q and R, PQ = 9, QR = 15, and PR = 12.

Examine the measures of the segments.

Since PQ + QR PR, the points cannot be
collinear.

Conjecture: P, Q, and R are non collinear.

6
Make a conjecture based on the given
information.
1. Given: 2, 4, 12, 48, 240
Conjecture: The next number will be 1440.

2. Given: For points L, M, and N, LM = 20,

MN = 6, and LN = 14.
Conjecture: L, M, and N are collinear.

7
3. Given: Lines l and m are perpendicular.
Conjecture: Lines l and m form four right angles.

4. Given: BD is an angle bisector of ABC

Conjecture: ABD  DBC

5. Given: HIJK is a square.

Conjecture: HI = IJ = JK = KH

8
Find COUNTEREXAMPLES
› A conjecture based on several
observations may be true in most
circumstances, but false in others.
› It takes only one false example to
show that a conjecture is not true.
› The false example is called a
counterexample.

9
Determine whether each conjecture is true or
false. Give a counterexample for any false
conjecture.
1. Given: 1and2 are complementary
angles.
Conjecture: 1and2 form a right angle.

Ans: FALSE

Counterexample:
10
2. Given: A(-4, 8), B(3, 8), C(3, 5)
Conjecture: ABC is a right triangle.
Ans: TRUE

3. Given: 4, -4, 5, -5, 6, -6 are integers

Conjecture: The opposite of an integer is a
negative integer.
Ans: FALSE
Counterexample: The opposite of the integer -5
is 5,which is a positive integer.
11
4. Given: DE = EF
Conjecture: E is the midpoint of DF .
Ans: FALSE
Counterexample: D, E and F do not have to be
collinear

5. Given: DE  EF
Conjecture: DEF is a right angle.
Ans: TRUE

SlidesCarnival icons are editable
shapes.

This means that you can:

● Resize them without
losing quality.
● Change fill color and
opacity.
● Change line color, width
and style.

Isn’t that nice? :)

Now you can use any emoji as an icon!
And of course it resizes without losing quality and you can change
the color.
