The+Process+of+Reasoning+and+Proof

Reasoning [R] Mathematical reasoning helps children think logically and make sense of mathematics. Children need to develop confidence in their abilities to reason and explain their mathematical thinking. High-order inquiry challenges children to think and develop a sense of wonder about mathematics. Mathematical experiences in and out of the classroom should provide opportunities for children to engage in inductive and deductive reasoning. Inductive reasoning occurs when children explore and record results, analyze observations, make generalizations from patterns, and test these generalizations. Deductive reasoning occurs when children reach new conclusions based upon what is already known or assumed to be true. [|(from Sask Curriculum)]
