Inductive Reasoning, Part 1 of 3
In this video, Sal Khan uses a simple number pattern to help the viewer understand how to use inductive reasoning to figure out what the next number will be. (Because it is a simple number pattern, the viewer will know what the the next number is, but Mr. Khan explains how to answer the mathematical question using inductive reasoning.)Mr. Khan uses the Paint Program (with different colors) to illustrate his points. Sal Khan is the recipient of the 2009 Microsoft Tech Award in Education. (02:0
Inductive Reasoning, Part 2 of 3
In this video, Sal Khan continues discussing inductive reasoning using a harder number pattern to help the viewer understand how to understand and solve the word problem. Sal Khan is the recipient of the 2009 Microsoft Tech Award in Education. (02:21)
Inductive Reasoning, Part 3 of 3
In this video, Sal Khan uses a word problem that discusses the distributive property to demonstrate how to use inductive reasoning. Mr. Khan uses the Paint Program (with different colors)Â to illustrate his points. Sal Khan is the recipient of the 2009Â Microsoft Tech Award in Education. (02:07)
Inductive Patterns
In this video, Sal Khan uses toothpicks and houses to solve this logic problem. Mr. Khan uses the Paint Program (with different colors)Â to illustrate his points. The viewer may wish to open the video to 'full screen' as there is a lot of writing on a small black screen. Sal Khan was the recipient of the 2009Â Microsoft Tech Award in Education.
