A Semi-detailed Lesson Plan

In Mathematics Grade 8

March , 2018

I. Objective
Uses inductive reasoning in an argument to draw a conclusion.
(M8GE-IIh-1.1)

KBI: Knowing the importance of making valid conclusions.

II. Subject Matter


A. Inductive and Deductive Reasoning
B. Mathematics Grade 8 Learner’s Module pp 329-330
https://www.livescience.com/21569-deduction-vs-induction.html
C. Pictures, meta strips, visual aid, chalk, chalkboard

III. Procedure
A. Drill and Review
A box containing conditional statements will be presented to the class. Some students will be
called randomly to pick a conditional statement and will transform the statement into converse,
inverse, or contrapositive form.
Some statements are the following:
1. If it will rain, then I will wear boots. Inverse:_________
2. If a number is prime, then its factors are one and itself. Converse: _________
3. If the GS Warriors win the game tonight, then they will play in the finals.
Inverse: ___________
4. If a polygon is a rectangle, then its opposite sides are parallel.
Contrapositive: ____________
5. If you love someone, then you will not break that someone’s heart.
Converse: __________

B. Motivation and Presentation


Ask the students the following questions:
Have you made judgments on some things based only what you see or hear? Have you made
some conclusions just by looking at the examples? Are all your judgments correct? Were you able to
validate your conclusions?

C. Lesson Proper
1. Show the students some pictures and let them draw statements or arguments, and conclusion
based on the pictures flashed.
2. Let the students share their ideas and conclusions based on the picture.
3. In groups, let students the finish the sentences provided. Some are:
1. My Mathematics teacher is strict.
My previous Mathematics teacher was strict.
Joy’s Mathematics teacher is strict, too.
Therefore, _______________________________________-.
2. 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, _____. What is the next number?
3.

4. This daisy has 35 petals.


My other five groupmate’s daisies have 35 petals, too.
Then, _____________________________________________.

4. Ask the students the following questions:


How did you arrive with your answers? Did you and your groupmates agreed at once with
your answers? You have just experienced inductive reasoning. Based on the activities that we had,
what is inductive reasoning? How do we draw conclusions using inductive reasoning?

5. Discussion of inductive reasoning.

6. Give more examples in arguments where inductive reasoning was used to draw a conclusion. Some
examples are:
1. What comes next?

2. 10 is an even number and is divisible by two.


26 is an even number and is divisible by two.
Therefore, even numbers are divisible by two.

D. Developmental Activity
In pairs, the students will draw conclusion using inductive reasoning in the following:
1. Last week, there were two accidents at the junction.
Yesterday, there was an accident at the junction.
Therefore, the junction is an accident prone area.
2. Jennifer always leaves for school at 7 a.m.
Jennifer always arrives at school on time.
Therefore, Jennifer never arrived late at school.

E. Conceptualization
What is inductive reasoning? How do we use inductive reasoning in drawing
conclusions?
F. Application
In what situations do we usually use inductive reasoning? Can you give me examples of
situation where we can use inductive reasoning?

IV. Evaluation
Use inductive reasoning in the following arguments to draw your conclusion.
1. The chair in the living room is red.
The chairs in the dining room are red.
The chair in the bedroom is red.
Therefore, ______________________________________.
2. Michael is from Ireland and he has a red hair.
John is from Ireland and has a red hair, too.
Then, ______________________________________.
3. I must bring an umbrella when it rains.
I must bring an umbrella when the sunshines.
Then, __________________________________________________.
4. What comes next? 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, ____.
5. What comes next? 5, 25, 125, ______.

V. Assignment
Give an example of a situation where you used inductive reasoning.
