Activity Please get into groups of 3 or 2, no one is allowed to work alone! Pick out 1 fallacy that we learned about yesterday and do a role play/skit with it. Everyone in your group should be talking and you will have to present in front of the class. You can include a script if you want. This will be graded based off your participation, so participate and be vocal!

How do we problem solve? Logic- Correct reasoning through science.
Reasoning- Drawing conclusions or inferences from assumed or known facts. We have to 1. Understand the problem, 2. Gather the facts, 3. Analyze the problem, 4. Compare with prior problems, 5.Use pictures and formulas to solve the problem. Notice the similarities and differences.

Syllogism It’s a part of deductive reasoning
It is an argument made up of 2 premises or statements that is immediately followed by a conclusion. If the conclusion is guaranteed then the arguments are valid. If there is one instance in which the conclusion doesn’t follow then the arguments are invalid.

More examples of Inductive reasoning
What is the next number in the sequence: 6, 13,20,27? There’s more than one answer for this sequence. Every quiz has been hard, therefore the test will be hard. Every winter snow comes. Therefore this winter snow will come. Max reads books on Monday. Therefore he will read a book on Tuesday.
