Mathematical Investigation

The document presents the steps for conducting a mathematical investigation: (1) state the problem, (2) organize and record data, (3) make a conjecture, (4) verify the conjecture, (5) justify the conjecture, and (6) summarize. It then demonstrates these steps by investigating a pattern of football figures. The pattern shows an increasing number of footballs in each successive figure. After recording the data for the first five figures, the conjecture is made that the number of footballs is two times the figure number minus one. This conjecture is verified by applying it to find the number of footballs in the 10th figure.

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
