Problem Solving

This document contains a pre-test with 10 numerical sequences, an excursion exercise with multi-step math problems, and a post-assessment with reasoning questions and examples. The post-assessment examines inductive and deductive reasoning, with examples such as showing that a number produced by a specific procedure will always equal the original number. The document ends with a request to use inductive reasoning to predict the next letter in a sequence, but the response indicates it was not completed due to a weak internet connection.

Post-assessment and Feedback

1. The sum of any two even counting numbers is always an even counting number.
2n+2m = 2(n + m)

2. The product of an odd counting number and an even counting number is always
an even counting number.
(2+n) (2+m) = 4(n + m)

3. The product of two odd counting numbers is always an odd counting number.
(n + 1) (m + 1) = 1(n + m)

4. The sum of two odd counting numbers is always an odd counting number.
(n+2) + (m+2) = 4(n + m)

5. Pick any counting number. Multiply the number by 6. Add 8 to the product. Divide
the sum by 2. Subtract 4 from the quotient. The resulting number is twice the
original number.
Counting Number: 4
Multiply by 6: 6 × 4 = 24
Add 8: 24 + 8 = 32
Divide by 2: 32 ÷ 2 = 16
Subtract 4: 16  4 = 12

6. Pick any counting number. Multiply the number by 8. Subtract 4 from the product.
Divide the difference by 2. Add 2 to the quotient. The resulting number is four
times
Counting Number: 6
Multiply by 8: 6 × 8 = 48
Subtract 4: 48  4 = 44
Divide by 2: 44 ÷ 2 = 22
Add 2: 22 + 2 = 24
7. Emma enjoyed reading the novel Under the Dome by Stephen King, so she will
enjoy reading his next novel. Inductive Reasoning

8. All pentagons have exactly five sides. Figure A is a pentagon. Therefore, Figure
A has exactly five sides. Deductive Reasoning

9. Every English setter likes to hunt. Duke is an English setter, so Duke likes to
hunt. Deductive Reasoning

10. Cats don’t eat tomatoes. Tigger is a cat. Therefore, Tigger does not eat
tomatoes. Deductive Reasoning

11. A number is a neat number if the sum of the cubes of its digits equals the
number. Therefore, 153 is a neat number. Inductive Reasoning

12. The Atlanta Braves have won five games in a row. Therefore, the Atlanta Braves
will win their next game Inductive Reasoning

13. Use deductive reasoning to show that the following procedure always
produces a number that is equal to the original number. Procedure: Pick a
number. Multiply the number by 6 and add 8. Divide the sum by 2, subtract
twice the original number, and subtract 4
Solution:
let n represent the original number
Multiply the number by 6 6n
Add 8 to the product 6n + 8
Divide the sum of 2 _6n + 8_ = 3n + 4
. 2
Subtract twice n 2n  3n + 4 = n + 4
Subtract 4 n+44=n

14. Use deductive reasoning to show that the following procedure always
produces the number 5, Procedure: Pick a number. Add 4 to the number and
multiply the sum by 3. Subtract 7 and then decrease this difference by the
triple of the original number.
Solution:
Let 5n represent the original number
Add 4 to the product 5n + 4
Multiply the sum by 3 3(5n + 4) = 15n + 12
Subtract 7 15n + 12  7 = 15n + 5
Final Answer 5n + 5
15. ?
16. ?
17. ?
18. ?
19. Use inductive reasoning to predict the next letter in the following
list. O, T, T, F, F, S, S, E, E
20. ?
