B. Developmental Activity
1. Presentation
Reasoning is part and partial of daily life.

There is an involved reasoning in choosing
which music to play because we consider
the genre, singer, or lyrics. There is also
reasoning involved in the way we choose
which route to take in going to school, may
be because it is the shortest and the fastest
route, the most convenient, the safest, or
because a friend’s house is along the way.
In deciding to do certain things, our
decision is grounded in reasons.
Do you have difficulties in deciding? (Some students say yes, some students
say no.)
Please elaborate. (Students share their experiences.)
Thank you for sharing.
Here are the learning objectives that you

will attain after our discussion.
Please read the objectives:

At the end of the lesson the we will be able
to:
1. define inductive and deductive
reasoning.
2. differentiate inductive and deductive
reasoning; and
3. apply inductive and deductive
reasoning in an argument.
2. Discussion
Drawing a conclusion from events,

experiences and logical reasons are also
part of scientific methods among scientist
and mathematicians in order to formulate
general view and greater knowledge.
In mathematics, reasoning is the ability to

draw logical conclusions based on
evidences or stated assumptions.
What does this mean? This means that we draw assumptions from
what information we have.
Reasoning will be helpful in evaluating
situations, selecting problem-solving
strategies, drawing logical conclusions,
developing and describing and applying the
solutions.
Example: What comes next in the

sequence of figures below?
Sir.
The shaded part of the circle is going

What is your reason? clockwise sir.
You are correct.

There are two types of reasoning:
 Inductive Reasoning- Takes
specific examples to make general
rule.
 Deductive Reasoning- Takes
general rule and uses it to make a
more specific example.
More examples:
1. In the sequence, 10, 20, 30, …, the next

term is 40.
2. John, a math challenger is good in
mathematics. Joan, Josh, and Bea who are
also math challengers are good in
mathematics. Therefore, all math
challengers are good in mathematics.
3. The chair in the living room is red. The
chair in the dining room is red. Therefore,
the color of the chairs in the house is red.
Inductive reasoning allows you to make a

general rule from specific examples. Like in
example 1, you are given a sequence with
first three terms are 10, 20 and 30. From
these specific examples, you may then
generalize that the sequence is a sequence
of numbers that are divisible by or multiple
of 10. Hence, you conclude that the next
term is 40.
On the 2nd example, what can you infer? In example 2, there are given specific
names of math challengers, Jim, Jane,
Josh and Bea who are good in
mathematics. From these specific
examples, we can then generalize that all
math challengers are good in mathematics.
Yes!
Similarly, in example number 3, you

generalize that all chairs in the house are
red as you observed that the chairs in the
living and dining rooms are red.
In this statement:
Determine the next number: 3,6,9,12, __,
__. 15 and 18 Sir.
What comes next?
The numbers are multiple of 3 Sir.
Very good. What did you observe?
Good. However necessary precaution

should be done before making a
generalization or conclusion. We have to
be careful in making conclusion specially in
using the word “All”. In inductive reasoning,
a single case that is not true will invalidate
the general conclusion. Thus, analysis and
investigation of different cases are
important.
In deductive reasoning, this logical

reasoning, allows you to make a specific
conclusion based on a general truth or fact.
It uses acceptable facts, proven theorem
as proof to draw a specific case or
situation.
Examples:
1. Sally does not drink soft drinks. Then, it
follows that she does not drink Cola.
2. All numbers ending in 0 or 5 are divisible
by 5. Number 35 ends with 5. Therefore, it
must be divisible by 5.
Deductive reasoning starts from a general

statement or fact to conclude into specific
example or claim. For instance, in example
1, you are given that Sally does not drink
soft drinks. Since a cola is a specific
example of a soft drink, then it follows that
Sally does not drink cola. In example 2, it is a fact that all numbers
ending with 0 or 5 are divisible by 5. Since
In example #2, what can you imply? 35 is a number ending with 5, you then
conclude that number 35 must be divisible
by 5.
Very good.
3. Generalization
To sum up our lesson for today, what have

you learned from our discussion? We learn about inductive and deductive
reasoning.
Very good. Who can give other realization?
We must comprehend the statements
before formulating a conclusion.
Do you have questions and clarifications

regarding to our topic? None Sir.
If there’s none, prepare for a quiz.

IV. Evaluation

Directions: Identify the type of reasoning
used in each of the following situations.
Write IR if the statement is inductive
reasoning and DR if it is deductive
reasoning. Write your answer on a ¼ sheet
of paper.
1. IR
1. Today, Sam notices that the city alarm 2. DR
sounds at 9:00 P.M. The next day of the 3. IR
same time, she notices that the city alarm 4. DR
sound again. She remembers that the city 5. DR
alarm did sound at the same time the other
day. She then concludes that the city alarm
sounds every 9:00 P.M.
2. No foreigner can be elected senator in our

country. Peter is a foreigner. Therefore,
Peter cannot be elected senator in our
country.
3. Grade 11 students at Javier NHS

conducted an experiment on tomatoes by
applying Ferrous Sulfate. After three weeks,
they observed the number of tomatoes
produced increased. They concluded that
the use of Ferrous Sulfate
as organic fertilizer can increase the
production of tomatoes.
4. A student who gets a perfect score in

mathematics 10 will be given extra credits.
Ann got a perfect score in mathematics 10.
Thus, Ann will be given extra credit.
5. All the residents of Barangay Guinhalinan

are exempted from paying taxes. The
parents of Melanie reside in Barangay
Guinhalinan. Therefore, Melanie’s parents
are exempted from paying taxes.
Directions: Complete the table by filling in

the conclusion. Item 1 is done for you.
V. Assignment
Direction: Complete the table below by

listing some situations on how each type of
reasoning is used in different subjects.
