2. Repeated
Observations General Conclusion
(The 5 dogs I saw today (All dogs will bark at me)
barked at me)
3. Apply To

4. Natural Numbers (Counting
Numbers)
◦ Whole numbers, (No parts of numbers
included, no fractions or decimals)
◦ Numbers Starting at 0, 1, 2, 3….
◦ The numbers you count with!
Find the next 3 natural numbers
2, 9, 16, 23…
Explain how you found them. Can you tell me
the rule?
Write an expression for the Rule
5. a n
Exponent
What does the
“exponent” tell you Base- a
to do?
Exponent- n
An exponent tells you how many
times you multiply the base times
itself.
73 means you multiply 7 times
itself 3 times or 7x7x7=
6. Premise An assumption. A rule or
idea you think is true
Conclusion Use reasoning to test, and
what you find is the
conclusion
Logical Argument A Statement arguing
your case that includes
the Premise and
Conclusion
7. Can you always make an accurate General
Conclusion based on the data you have?
(chords in a circle example)
Why not?
It is not Possible to find EVERY
number in a sequence in a Number
Pattern, Because Numbers are
INFINITE.. They go on forever
8. Create a Rule
Test that rule…
See a pattern then test some
more. Sometimes
the rule doesn’t
hold up
