Lesson Plan in Mathematics

The lesson plan is for an 8th grade mathematics class on geometry and inductive reasoning. [1] The objective is for students to be able to use inductive reasoning in an argument. [2] The lesson will include examples of using inductive reasoning to find patterns in number sequences and shapes. [3] Students will use examples and counterexamples to understand inductive reasoning and disproving statements.

Analysis

Paper Folding

The teacher folded a paper in half. Then another half


and continue folding in half until reach 5 times of
folding.

Number of folds(x) 1 2 3 4 5
Number of regions 2 4 8 16 32

Notice that each succeeding number of regions was


twice the preceding number of regions. Hence, we
conjectured that the number of regions formed can be
obtained by the expression.

Where x is the number of folds.
Expected answer:
To verify this conjecture, let’s fold the paper 6 times
and predicted that there would be 64 regions on the Inductive reasoning.
paper. And viola! Indeed there were 64 regions.

What kind of reasoning did we use to arrive at this


conclusion?

A conjecture is a conclusion made from observing data.


It may or may not be true. Inductive reasoning is a
process of gathering specific information and then
making a conjecture based on the gathered data.

Abstraction Expected answer:


1.
The teacher will let the students disprove statements
using counterexample. Solution: By counterexample,

Example 1: Disprove the statement.” All obtuse


triangles are scalene.”

▲ABC has an obtuse angle at C. AC ≅ CB .


Hence, ▲ABC is an isosceles obtuse
triangle.

2. Solution: By counterexample,
Example 2: Disprove the statement.” No right triangle is
scalene.”

▲ABC has a right angle at C. AC ≇ CB .


Hence, ▲ABC is an isosceles obtuse
triangle.

2. Complementary angles are two angles that sum up to
90 degrees. These angles must be both 45 degrees. 3. 9 + (-10) = -1
3. The sum of two integers is positive.
