Section 1-1 Patterns and Inductive Reasoning
Visual pattern • A pattern that consists of shapes/figures Example:
Number pattern • A pattern involving a sequence of numbers
Inductive reasoning • A process that involves looking for patterns and making conjectures
Three stages to Inductive Reasoning • Look for a pattern • Make a conjecture • Verify the conjecture
conjecture • An unproven statement that is based on observations.
counterexample • An example that shows a conjecture is false.
