Module 2: Deductive Method

DEDUCTIVE METHOD




              Deductive method is based on deduction. In this approach we proceed from general to particular and from abstract and concrete. At first the rules are given and then students are asked to apply these rules to solve more problems. This approach is mainly used in Algebra, Geometry and Trigonometry because different relations, laws and formulae are used in these sub branches of mathematics. In this approach, help is taken from assumptions, postulates and axioms of mathematics.      It is used for teaching mathematics in higher classes.

Solution:
General: (a+b)2 =a2+b2+2ab
Particular: (100+2) 2 = 1002 + 22 + (2 x 100 x 2)
