For use with the lesson “Use Inductive Reasoning”
Describe a pattern in the numbers. Write the next number in the pattern.
10. 5, 10, 15, 20, . . .
11. 26, 23, 20, 17, 14, . . .

14. 212, 28, 24, 0, . . .
15. 3, 29, 27, 281, . . .
Complete the conjecture based on the pattern you observe in the
specific cases.
16. Use the following products of odd integers to complete the conjecture about the
Conjecture The product of any two odd integers is    ?   .

Conjecture The average of any two consecutive odd whole numbers is    ?   .
Show the conjecture is false by finding a counterexample.
18. The average of any two consecutive even numbers is an even number.
19. Any four-sided polygon is a square.
20. The square of any integer is a positive integer.
21. Evaporation You are performing an experiment to explore the effects of surface area on evaporation. Each day you record the
depth (in millimeters) of the water in the bowl pictured. The table
below shows your results.

a. Predict the height of the water surface in the bowl on day 6.
b. Based on these results, make a conjecture about how the surface area of a body
of water affects the rate of change of its depth by evaporation.
