Module 3

This document contains 4 assessment tasks involving inductive reasoning, deductive reasoning, problem solving with patterns, and using Polya's problem solving strategy. The first task involves predicting number patterns, making conjectures based on procedures, and solving an application about tsunami height and velocity. The second task establishes conjectures using given procedures and solves a logic puzzle about siblings and the cars they bought. The third task finds the 11th and 150th Fibonacci numbers using formulas, expands (x+y)8 using Pascal's triangle, and answers true/false questions about Fibonacci numbers and properties. The fourth task uses Polya's four problem solving steps to solve two riddles, one about seating arrangements

MODULE 3

ASSESSMENT 1-1
Inductive Reasoning

I. Predict the next number/s in each list.


1. 27, 24, 21, 18, 15, 12
2. 6, 1, 9, 5, 12, 9, 15, 13, 18
3. 1000, 200, 40, 8

II. Follow the given procedure. Make a conjecture about the relationship
between the size of the resulting number and the size of the original number.
1. Take your age.
2. Multiply it by 2

3. Add 5 1800
4. Multiply the sum by 50
5. Subtract 365
6. Add 115

III. Solve an application. A tsunami is a sea wave produced by an underwater


earthquake. The height of the tsunami as it approaches land depends on the
velocity of the tsunami. Use the table below to answer each of the following
questions.

Velocity of tsunami Height of tsunami (feet)


(feet/second)
6 4

9 9

12 16

15 25

18 36

21 49

24 64

1. What happens to the height of the tsunami when its velocity is doubled?

Answer: the height is quadrupled.


Assessment Task 1-2
Deductive Reasoning

I. Establish a conjecture following the given procedure.

1. Pick any counting number

2. Multiply the number by 6

3. Add 8 to the product 66


4. Divide the sum by 2

5. Subtract 4 from the quotient

II. Solve a Logic Puzzle: Each of four siblings (Edmund, Genalyn,


Madelyn, and Sonia) bought four different cars. One chooses a Honda car,
another Mitsubishi car, another Toyota car, and the other Suzuki car. From
the following clues, determine which sibling bought which car.

1. Edmund, living alone, stays next door to his sister who bought the Honda
car
and very far from his sister who bought the Suzuki car.

2. Genalyn, living alone also, is younger than the one who bought the
Mitsubishi

car and older than her sibling who bought the Toyota car.

3. Madelyn did not like Toyota and Suzuki cars. But she and her sibling, who

bought the Toyota car live in the same house.

Solution:
Clue 1: Edmund who’s living alone, doesn’t own Honda car nor Suzuki car.
Clue 2: Genalyn doesn’t own a Mitsubishi car and Toyota car.
Clue 3: Madelyn doesn’t like Toyota and Suzuki cars.

Honda car Mitsubishi car Toyota car Suzuki car


Edmund X X
Genalyn X X
Madelyn X X
Sonia

From clue 2: Genalyn lives alone so she doesn’t have a Honda car.
From clue 3: Madelyn who’s living with her sibling, owns a Honda car.
There are now 3 x’s in the cars in Genalyn’s row, therefore she owns a Suzuki car.
ASSESSMENT 1-3

Problem Solving with Patterns.

I. Find the 11th Fibonacci number using the Fibonacci numbers conjecture.

F11 = F10 + F9 = (F9 + F8) + F9 = (34 + 21) + 34 = 89

II. Use Binet’s formula and a calculator to find the 150th Fibonacci number.

150 150
1 1+ √5 1−√ 5
F 150= (
√5 2 ) ( −
2 )
= 9.96921669E30 or 9969216677189303386214405760200

III. Expand (x+y)8 using the Pascal’s triangle.

TRUE or FALSE. Write T if the statement if equation is True, otherwise write F.

T 1. 19 is a prime number, thus 𝐹19 is a prime number?

F 2. 𝐹19 is 144 the index no. is equal to its digit sum?

T 3. Every 3rd Fibonacci is a multiple of 2?

F 4. The digit sum of 89 is 17, therefore 𝐹17 = 89?

T 5. 𝐹6 = 8 is the first Fibonacci number with 2 as a factor?

F 6. 7 is a factor of 8?

T 7. 𝐹3 and 𝐹4 are prime factors of 𝐹12?

T 8. Every 4th Fibonacci numbers is a multiple of 3?

T 9. Every 4th Fibonacci numbers is an odd number?

F 10. 𝐹12 = 144 the index number 12 is a factor of 144, 15 is a factor of 𝐹15?

ASSESSMENT 1-4

Use Polya’s Problem Solving Strategy to solve the following riddles.

1. Mark is six today. He has invited five friends to his birthday party. At 4 o’clock
they will sit down to tea. Can you decide who will sit where? (Brown, 2001)

a. Isabel sits next to Mark. Chair 1: Isabel


b. Julie sits between two boys. Chair 2: Marina
c. Willian sits facing Mark. Chair 3: Willian

d. Marina does not eat cake. Chair 4: Julie

e. Isabel is not facing Marina. Chair 5: Thomas

f. Thomas sits beside Mark. Chair 6: Mark


2. There is a mistake in this sum. 1 minus 3 is not equal to 2. Move one nail to
make the sum right (Brown, 2001).

I = III - II
