There are two main types of reasoning, inductive, and deductive, both are common in forming conclusions in our everyday activities. Both deductive and inductive reasoning come into play as students ,ake conjectures and seek to explain and seek to explain why they are valid.
It seems to be on the safe side that you would guess and check. Just because you don't get it right the first couple times doesn't mean that you don't know the answer to the problem. Don't get frustrated, if you need to take a break or ask someone else for help, do so. I don't want anything bad to happen. Haha.

Problem Solving Stratigies
Problem Sovling can be difficult at times. I know I have a hard time looking at a problem and understand what it is talking about, and what it is im trying to find. Here are some steps that can help you figure out problem solving.
Read: Read the problem carefully. What do you know about the problem? What do you need to find?
Plan: A Venn Diagram organizes data with overlapping cirlces. The overlapping section shows data that falls into both groups.
Solve: Solve the problem in a Venn Diagram.
Look Back: How else could you have solved this problem?
By following these steps, you are most likely to solve your problem in a jiffy.

Balance Scale Models
Balance Scale Models are here to help you figure out what is equal to each other without having to use the same numbers twice. Here is a website that will help you with your scale balancing. http://pbskids.org/cyberchase/games/algebra/algebra.html What you do is you have to make it balance on each side of the scale. It'll give you a Poddle that you have to match the size of them. It may sound diffucult but once you start to play it, you'll get the hang of it and learn to love it!
I'm 18 years old, and I had a hard time with scales. Being able to balance them...? That was asking too much from me. I have been going on this website and trying to figure out how balancing a scale actually works. Come to think of it, I love it. It has helped me out not only for school but also in the long run. I am glad I finally figured out how to use these. I wish someone told me about these websites that can help you.

Sequences Always Come in Handy!
There are a couple different things you would need to understand about sequences.
What are they? Sequences are arrangements in whuch things follow a logical order or in a recurrent pattern. Does math have these types of things in there? Yes, there are different types of sequences.
What types of sequences are there? Well, there is the Arithmetic Sequence, Geometric Sequence, Common Ratio, Coomon Dikfference, and the Finite Differences.
What do they all mean? An Arithmetic Squence is when each number is obtained from the previous number in the sequence by adding a selected number (either positive or negative) This number is known as the common difference. A Geometric Sequence is when each number is obtained by multiplying the previous term by a number. This multiplier is called the common ratio. You can also find the pattern, sometimes, in a set of numbers by looking at the differences between the consecutive terms. This methid is called the finite difference.

Math Is Here For You!
So I've been doing some thinking about good ways to help me advance my problem solving skills... But before we get into that, here's a math problem that I would like you too try:
Step 1. Write down the Month Of Your Birthday.
Step 2. Multiply it by 2.
Step 3. Add 5 to the number you got in Step 2.
Step 4. Multiply Step 3 by 50.
Step 5. Subtract 250 from the present year. (2010)
Step 6. Add the result from Step 5 to the result from Step 4.
Step 7. Subtract the year of your birth from the result in Step 6.
Step 8. Cirlcle the last 2 digits of the result in Step 7. The cirlced number should give your age of your birthday this year.
Step 9. The uncircled part of the number from Step 8 should be the number of your birth month.
Even though, math can seem difficult, you can play around with it and make it into an easy fun situation like the one above.
When first looking at a problem you think too yourself how you think the problem should be solved. Poyla's theory is to 1) understand the problem, 2) devise a plan, 3) carry out the plan, and 4) look back at what you did.
Here are some strategies to help you with your problem solving. You could Make a Drawing, Guess and Check, Make a Table, Use a Model, and Work Backwards. It seems too help!
