 MATHEMATICAL INVESTIGATION

-IT REFERS TO THE SUSTAINED EXPLORATION OF

A MATHEMATICAL SITUATION. DISTIGUISHES
ITSELF FROM PROBLEM SOLVING BECAUSE IT IS
OPEN-ENDED.
STEPS IN DOING A MATHEMATICAL INVESTIGATION

I. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

II.ORGANIZE AND RECORD DATA
III. GESTATING (TAKING A BREAK)
IV. MAKE A CONJECTURE
V. VERIFY THE CONJECTURE
VI. JUSTIFY THE CONJECTURE
VII. SUMMARIZE
 LETS APPLY ALL THIS STEP IN
MATHEMATICAL INVESTIGATION
I. A PATTERN MADE OF A FOOTBALL. OBSERVE AND FIND THE
10TH FIGURE.

10TH FIGURE.

FIGURE 1 FIGURE 2 FIGURE 3 FIGURE 4

II. ORGANIZE AND RECORD DATA

NUMBER OF FIGURE (x) 1 2 3 4 5

NUMBER OF FOOTBALL (y) 2 3 5 7 9

 III. GESTATING
( TAKING A BREAK)
 IV. MAKE A CONJECTURE

BASED FROM THE GIVEN DATA, THE NUMBER

OF FOOTBALS (y) IS ONE LESS THAN TWICE
OF THE NUMBER OF FIGURE (x)
 V. VERIFY YOUR CONJECTURE

TO VERIFY THE CONJECTURE USING THE FORMULA:

y= 2x -1; when x = 10
y= 2(10) -1
y= 20 -1
y= 19
FIGURE NUMBER 10:
 VI. WRITE A RULE IN GETTING THE TOTAL
NUMBER OF FOOTBALLS. LET x BE THE NUMBER
OF FIGURES.

THE FORMULA IN GETTING THE NUMBER OF

FOOTBALLS (y) GIVEN THE NUMBER OF FIGURES
(x) IS y= 2X -1
