    There was a jar of chocolate chip cookies on the
    table. James and Monica were very hungry
    because they hadn’t had anything to each since
    breakfast. So they ate half of the cookies. Then
    Victor came along and noticed the cookies. He
    ate a third of what was left in the jar. Sharon,

    fourth of the cookies left in the jar. Then Tiffany
    came rushing up and took one cookies to munch
    on in her class. When Valerie looked at the
    cookie jar, she saw there were two cookies left.
    How many cookies were in the jar to begin with?
     Conjecture : There were 12 cookies in the jar

    Every GOOP is a GORP, Half of all GORGS are
    GORPS. Half of all GORPS are GOOPS. There
    are 40 GORGS and 30 GOOPS. No GORG is a
    GOOP. How many GORPS are neither GOOPS
    nor GORGS?
    Conjecture : There are 10 Gorps which are
    neither goop nor gorgs.

     (deductive reasoning- principles of set)

    An egg vendor broke all the eggs that he was
    delivering to a local store. He could not
    remember how many eggs there were in all.
    However, he did remember that when he tried
    to pack them into 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 he had
    one left over each time. When he packed
    them into packages of 7, he had none left
    over. What is the smallest number of eggs he
    could have had in the shipment?
    The lowest possible eggs that can placed in the
    shipment is 301.

     Inductive and deductive Reasoning : The Tower of Hanoi

    The tower of Hanoi is a logical puzzle, frequently


    studied in cognitive psychology and used as a
    test of problem –solving ability. Consisting of 3
    pegs, on one of which are placed a number of
    discs of varying diameter, the largest at the
    bottom and the smallest at the top. The problem
    is to move the tower of disks over to one of the
    other pegs in the smallest number of moves,
    moving one disc at a time and using the third
    peg as a temporary way station as required,
    never placing a larger disc on top of a smaller
    one. Use 3 disks, 4 disks and 5 disks.
     When giving problem solving take into
    consideration the knowledge and skills of the
    students who will do the solution.
     Worksheets on problem solving.
