Inductive Reasoning Reasoning that allows you to reach a conclusion based on a pattern of specific examples or past events
Continue the pattern for the next three terms: #1 3, 7, 11, 15,,,
Continue the pattern for the next three terms: #1 3, 7, 11, 15,,, Since the pattern matches, we don’t have to add another level
Continue the pattern for the next three terms: #1 3, 7, 11, 15,,, The pattern will continue

n = 1,2,3 You need to find the sum (add) the negative of n all the way to the positive of n. If n=1, then you start with –n which is = _____
Conjecture is: The sum of the integers from –n to n is always zero.
Fibonacci Sequence Any ideas??? You add the previous numbers to get the next one!
