1. 50, 25, 0, -25, -50, -75, -100, -125
2. 2, 7, 12, 17, 22, 27, 32, 37

5. -14, 12, -2, 10, 8, 18, 26, 44

IV. Explore
Activity : The title of this activity is “ He says, she says.” Obtain information on five things that three
classmates bring to school everyday. List them on a piece of paper and write a very brief conclusion
about the person.

Abstraction
From the activity “ He says. She says.” Revisit the list and the brief conclusion made about the three
classmates. If two more details are added, will the conclusion be the same?

Conclusion:
 Jinky Del Rosario brings ball pen, and notebook in her bag. Therefore, I can say that
she is a good and student.

 Carla Soriano brings her book, phone, pen, and notebook every day at school. So, I
can say that she’s a hardworking student and she loves to read during her free time.

 Angeline Senorin always brings her laptop at school. I therefore conclude that she’s a
good student that always do her school works especially PowerPoint presentation.

Abstraction:
 Yes, when we add two things to it, the conclusion will alter since the arrangement of
ideas will vary through time, affecting the conclusion that should be made.

V. Discussion Board
Support the conjecture inductively by showing three examples:

1. The product of an odd integer and an even integer is an odd integer.

1x2= 2
2x3=6
9x7= 72
Therefore, the statement is not correct.

2. Think of a number. Add it to 5, multiply 2 and then subtract 7. What is the

result?
I chose number 4, 10, 20
2(4+5)-7= 2(9)-7= 18-7= 11
2(10+5)-7 = 2(15)-7 = 30-7 = 23
2(20+5)-7 = 2(25)-7 = 50-7 = 43
Therefore, the result is odd numbers

3. The product of an odd number and its consecutive number is an even

number.
3x4 = 12
9x10= 90
5x6= 30
Therefore, the statement is not correct.

4. Positive numbers whose last digit is zero is divisible by 10.

10, 20 and 30 are numbers with 0 on their last digit.
10/10= 1
20/10=2
30/10=3
Therefore, the statement given is correct.

5. Multiply 3 to the difference of a number and seven. Then add the product of the
same number and 5. Find the result.
If the number is 4 then the result of 3(4-7) + (4) (5) is equal to 0.

VI. Post-Competency Checklist

A. Use inductive reasoning to predict the next number in each list.

1. 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24? 28

2. 5, 11, 17, 23, 29, 35? 41
3. 3, 5, 9, 15, 23, 33? 45
4. 1, 8, 27, 64, 125? 216
5. 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49? 64

B. Use inductive reasoning to decide whether each statement is correct.

6. The sum of any two even counting numbers is always an even counting number.
 0, 2,4,6,8 are even numbers.
So, 2+4=6 and;
8=+6= 14.
Therefore, the statement isn’t true because the sum of any even numbers is always
even but not counting numbers.

7.The product of an odd counting number and an even counting number is always an
even counting number.
 1, 3,5,7,9 are odd numbers and 2,4,6,8 are even numbers.
So, 1x2=2,
2x3= 6, and;
3x4= 12
Therefore, the statement isn’t true because the product of an odd and even
numbers are always even but not counting numbers.

8. The product of two odd counting numbers is always an odd counting number.
 1 and 3, 3 and 5, and 5 and 7 are pairs of odd counting numbers.
Republic of the Philippines
CENTRAL BICOL STATE UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURE
Impig, Sipocot, Camarines Sur 4408
www.cbsua.edu.ph

So, 1x3= 3,
3x5= 15, and;
5x7= 35

9. The sum of two odd counting numbers is always an odd counting number.
 1 and 3, 3 and 5, and 5 and 7 are pairs of odd counting numbers.
So, 1+3=4,
3+5= 8, and;
5+7= 12

10. Pick any counting number. Multiply the number by 8. Subtract 4 from the product.
Divide the difference by 2. Add 2 to the quotient. The resulting number is four times
the original number.
 If I pick 12 then ⌊ (12)(8)−4⌋+2, the result is 48.
Therefore, the statement given is correct.

Week 8
Deductive Reasoning

II. Pre-Competency Checklist

Complete the following

1. In order to get a student license, a person must be 16 years old. Liza will be 16
years old in two days.
Conclusion: I therefore conclude that Liza will get a student license since she will be
16 years old in two days.

2. Students have a “wash” day every Wednesday to allow them to wash their
uniforms. Today is Wednesday.
Conclusion: I therefore conclude that students can wash their uniforms today
because today is Wednesday and it’s wash day.

3. All humans are rational. I am a human.

Conclusion: I therefore conclude that I am rational because all human are rational.

4. All tangible materials are destined to depreciate. A car is a tangible material.

Conclusion: I therefore conclude that a car destined to depreciate because all
tangible materials are destined to depreciate.

5. All students are eligible to be the dean’s list. Edwin is a student.

Conclusion: I therefore conclude that Edwin are eligible to be the dean’s list since all
students are eligible to be a dean’s list.

V. Discussion Board

Deductive reasoning is a process of making specific and truthful conclusions based on general
principles.

Example:
1. All members of the club can use the club’s pool. Diane is a member of the
Club. Therefore, Diane can use the club’s pool.

2. All numbers are divisible by 3 if the sum of the digits is divisible by 3. Consider 399.
The sum of 3, 3 and 9 is 15. Therefore 399 is divisible by 3.

Example :Given: 4(3x – 8) + 5 = x – 5. Solve the equation for x. Give reason for each step in
process.

Solution: 4(3x – 8) + 5 = x – 5
12x – 32 + 5 = x – 5 Apply distributive property
12x - 27 = x - 5 Combine similar terms
11x – 27 = -5 Apply subtraction property of equality
11x = 22 Apply addition property of equality
X=2 Use division property of equality

VI. Post Competency Checklist

A. Solve the following completely

1. The sum of four consecutive numbers is 3962. Find the numbers.

ANSWER: Let x be the smallest number.
3962 = x + (x+1) + (x+2) + (x+3)
3962 = 4x+6
3962-6 = 4x
3956=4x/4
Republic of the Philippines

www.cbsua.edu.ph

989= x, therefore the four consecutive numbers are 989, 990,991 and 992.

2. 7m + 4(m + 3) = 5m + 6(2m -1)

ANSWER: 7m+4m+12= 5m+12m -6
11m+12=17m-6
12+6=17m-11m
18=6
6
m= 3

3. 5x = 10
y = 3x – 14
ANSWER: If 3. 5x = 10 and 5x=10
5
then x=2.
If x=2, then y= 3x-14 will become y=3(2)-14 which will be y= 6-14 and the value of y is -8.

4. Eric is Jay’s father. Eric is 41 years old now. Two years ago. Eric was 3 times as old as his
son. How old is Jay now?
ANSWER: Two years ago, Eric was 41-2 years old which is 39.
 To compute Jay’s age, let’s use a as his age 2 years ago.
 If Eric is 3 time older than Jay, two years ago, then the mathematical sentence will be 39=
3a.
 39/3=3a/3
 13=a. So Jay was 13 years old two years before.
 13 years old +2 years passed= 15 years old is Jay’s age in the present.

5. y = 2x + 6
3y = x – 2
ANSWER: If y = 2x + 6, then the solution will be like this:
3y = x – 2
3(2x + 6) = x – 2

6x+18= x-2
6x-x= -18-2
5x= -20
x= -4

6. Fifty- four less than 4 times a number is equal to the number. What is the number?
ANSWER: The mathematical sentence will be:
54-4n=n, where n is the number.
54= 4n+n
54= 5n
54= 5n/5
N= 10.8

7. -2x – 1 ˂ -9
ANSWER: -2x-1 ˂ -9
-2x-1=-9
-2x=-9+1
-2x= -8
X= 4
Let’s try three intervals:
 If x>4, then -2(5)-1 = -10 which is lesser than -9.
 If x<4, then -2(3)-1 = -7 which is not less not -9.
 I therefore conclude that x= {x:x>4}

8. 3x + 8(x – 1) = 47
ANSWER: 3x + 8x – 8 = 47
11x = 47+8
11x= 55
11x=55

X=5

 QUALITATIVE

IV. Explore

Qualitative and quantitative data are the two types of data. Qualitative data deals with categories or
attributes. Examples are color of eyes, ethnicity, and brand of ice cream. Quantitative data are
numerical data. Quantitative data can be discrete or continuous. Discrete data is obtained through
counting. Continuous data is obtained by measuring. Number of countries in Southeast Asia and
number of courses in a school term are examples of discrete data while weight and age are some of
the examples of continuous data.

Classification of data includes levels of measurement of data. The levels of measurement of data
are nominal, ordinal, and ratio. Nominal level of measurement classifies qualitative data into two or
more categories. It is the lowest level of measurement. Examples of nominal are the books in the
library and courses in college. Ordinal level of measurement ranks qualitative data. Interval level of
measurement involves quantitative data that are ranked and makes sense of differences. There is
no starting point for this level of measurement. An example is the Celsius temperature. Ratio level
of measurement does not only include those characteristics of interval level of measurement but
also starts at 0 value. It is the highest level of measurement. Examples are weight, the time it takes
to do a math project and the number of absences of students in a class.

V. Discussion Board
Given below is a survey questionnaire. Identify which level of measurement is each item.
