Topic 4: Formal Reasoning

General Outcome: Apply the principles of mathematical reasoning to solve problems and to justify solutions.

Specific Outcomes:

• 4.1 Differentiate between inductive and deductive reasoning. [CN, R]
  
• 4.2 Explain and apply connecting words, such as "and", "or" and "not", to solve problems. [C, PS, R, V]
• 4.3 Use examples and counterexamples to analyze conjectures. [CN, R]
• 4.4 Distinguish between an "if–then" proposition, its converse and its contrapositive. [CN, R]
• 4.5 Prove assertions in a variety of settings, using direct reasoning. [R]
