Level High School Teacher Mr. Arosman Aguilar
Frequency 6 Hours Grade 8th Grade
Week: February 13th to February 17th, 2023.
Unit I: Transformation and congruence.
Topic: Tools of geometry: Representing and describing transformations / Reasoning and proof.
Purposes: To establish relationships among points, straight lines, and planes; use transformations to
draw congruent figures determining their properties.

Greets and Instructions:

In this lesson, you are going to do an evaluative practice class, and we are going to begin a new
topic: Reasoning and proof, A conjecture is a statement that is believed to be true. You can use
reasoning to investigate whether a conjecture is true. Inductive reasoning is the process of
reasoning that a rule or statement may be true by looking at specific cases. Deductive reasoning is
the process of using logic to prove whether all cases are true.

transformation?
5 minutes.
Second Period of class:

Topic: Introductory class: Reasoning and proof.

Purpose: Using inductive reasoning to make conjectures.
Vocabulary: Conjecture, Inductive reasoning, deductive reasoning,
theorem, Counterexample.
Strategy: Inference, Critical thinking, Solving problems.
Activities:
1. Equipment connection | attendance | Class organization.
2. With the teacher´s help: Complete the steps to make a conjecture
about the sum of three consecutive counting numbers:

5 minutes.

15 minutes.
Recall that postulates are statements you accept are true. A theorem is
a statement that you can prove is true using a series of logical steps.
The steps of deductive reasoning involve using appropriate undefined
words, defined words, mathematical relationships, postulates, or other
previously-proven theorems to prove that the theorem is true.

15 minutes

1. Class wrap-up. Discussion A counterexample is an example that

shows a conjecture to be false. Do you think counterexamples
are used mainly in inductive or deductive reasoning?
