in your existence?
Have you ever have
any experience
solving various
cases/problem?
Have you ever try to
make a general
statement based on
facts you observed?
How?
Did you use a general
rule to make a specific
decision?
Have you ever believed
something was always
true, only to find out
there’s an exception?
PROBLEM
SOLVING
AND REASONING
• differentiate between inductive and
deductive reasoning,
• use counterexamples to disproved
conjecture or statements
• Construct a conclusion based on the
premises of the argument.
Lesson Objectives:
Reasoning
Reasoning is an action
that we do whenever
we want to think or say
something in logical
order or sensible way.
LOGIC Reasoning
it is the drawing
of inferences or
conclusions from
known or
assumed facts.
INDUCTIVE
DEDUCTIVE
AND
REASONING
is the process of
reaching a general
conclusion by examining
specific examples or
observation.
INDUCTIVE
REASONING
Example
Premise 1: Last Saturday, Leni went to
boulevard.
Premise 2: This Saturday, she went to the
boulevard again.
Conclusion: Therefore, Leni will probably get
to the boulevard on the next Saturday.
Example
What figures comes next in the sequence?
is the process of
reaching a conclusion by
applying general
assumptions,
procedures or principles.
DEDUCTIVE
REASONING
Example
Premise 1: All men are
mortal.
Premise 2: Aristotle is man.
Conclusion: Therefore,
Aristotle is mortal.
Mary and Jim are left-handed and use left-
handed scissors.
Bill is also left-handed. Therefore, Bill also
uses left-handed scissors.

Inductive
REasoning
2
It's dangerous to drive on icy streets.
The streets are icy now, so it would
be dangerous to drive on the
streets.
Deductive
REasoning
3
In the past, ducks have always come
to our pond. Therefore, the ducks
will come to our pond this summer.
Inductive
REasoning
4
Acute angles are less than 90
degrees. This angle is 40 degrees,
so it must be an acute angle.
Deductive
REasoning
5
Inductive
REasoning
Which figure comes next on the series?
TRY THIS:
Construct a conclusion based on the
premises.
The sun has risen in the east every morning for my
entire life.
The sun rose in the east this morning.
Therefore, ___________________________
The sun will rise in the east tomorrow morning.
Every time it rains, the ground gets wet.
It has rained every day for the past week.
So, ______________________________
the ground has been wet every day for the past week.
Marvel Comics characters are fictional. Iron man is
a Marvel comic’s character. Therefore,
_________________________.
Iron Man is fictional character
Citrus fruit are rich in vitamin C.
Orange is a citrus fruit.
Therefore, __________________.
an orange is rich in vitamin C
Counterexamples
A statement is a true statement
provided that it is true in all
cases. If you find one case for
which a statement is not true,
called a counterexample, then
the statement is a false
statement.
All Swan are White.
Claim
Counterexample
All fruits are
sweet.
Claim
Counterexample
All positive integers are
greater than zero.
Claim
Counterexample
There is no
counterexample because
this claim is always true.
The sum of two
numbers is always
even.
Claim
Counterexample
2+3=5
Can you think of a time when a
counterexample and reasoning
changed how we think?
·HOW ARE
COUNTEREXAMPLE AND
REASONINGS USED IN
other FIELD OF STUDY?
HOW DO COUNTEREXAMPLE
AND LOGIC REASONING
HELP US IMPROVE OUR
DECISION MAKING?
THANKYOU
FOR
LISTENING!
Come now, let us reason together," says the Lord
"For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth
come knowledge and understanding."
Proverbs 2: 6-7
If any of you lacks wisdom, let
him ask of God, who gives to all
liberally and without reproach,
and it will be given to him.
James 1:5
