INDUCTIVE
REASONING
Inductive reasoning uses
specific examples to arrive at a
general rule, generalizations,
or conclusions.
INDUCTIVE
REASONING
Conclusions are based on
observations of a pattern.
Conclusions may be true, but
not necessarily.
DEDUCTIVE
REASONING
Deductive reasoning uses
basic and/or general
statements to arrive at a
conclusion.
DEDUCTIVE
REASONING
Conclusions are based on accepted
statements such as definitions,
postulates, theorems, and properties.
Conclusions must be true if the general
statement is true.
