4. Inductive Reasoning – the process of observing data, recognizing patterns, and making generalizations about those patterns.

5. Conjecture– a generalization made using inductive reasoning

6. To prove a conjecture true, you must prove that it is true in all cases. To prove a conjecture is false, you must prove it false in only one case.

7. Give a counter example to the following conjecture: The difference of two positive numbers is always a positive number.

8. Do you think it is easier to prove a conjecture is true or false?

9. Write a sequence. When I say switch, have your neighbor try to figure it out.

10. Write a conjecture (true or false)
Write a conjecture (true or false). When I say switch, have your neighbor prove it true or false.

11. Goldbach’s Conjecture: Every even number greater than two can be written as the sum of two primes. Select an even number from and show that Goldbach’s conjecture is true.
