Learning Objectives

• Put together a presentation on a topic you explored in prep

Why are we doing this?

By teaching we learn. The best way to really understand a subject well is to know it well enough to teach another.

In class this week you will be teaching something. You will be explaining one of the following thinking tools. You will not use a computer to explain this, but something else. This could be a drawing, a game, a conversation, or anything you like that will help you communicate the concept, except a computer!

Reasoning tools

• Deduction: Reasoning from general rules to a specific conclusion that is definitely true
• Induction: Reasoning from specific examples to form general patterns that are probably true
• Abduction: Reasoning to the best explanation for all the evidence we observe
• Falsification: Testing a theory by trying to prove it wrong
• Problem Domain: Identifying the bounded space that contains all possible solutions to a problem
• Bisection: Reasoning by reducing a problem space to the smallest possible size
• Binary Logic: Reasoning with only two possible states (true or false)

You do not need to prepare a lesson on the 1000 Wine Bottles problem, as we will be working through this together in class already.
