Inductive and Deductive Reasoning Maze – High School Geometry Activity

This maze gives high school geometry students practice with inductive and deductive reasoning. For each scenario, they identify which type of reasoning is being used.

How it works

Students work through a series of reasoning problems, solving each one and following the correct path to the end of the maze. Along the way they tell apart inductive reasoning (based on patterns) and deductive reasoning (using logical steps and laws).

Use it for classwork, homework, informal assessment, or extra practice with a substitute.
