    Study Notes

    Logical Reasoning

    • Ordering and Positioning Problems: Practice arranging items or individuals based on multiple criteria and deducing relationships. Focus on identifying the key elements and establishing the correct order or position.
    • Necessary Conclusions: Differentiate between statements that must be true and statements that could be true. Develop the ability to identify the minimum conditions required for a conclusion to hold true, using deductive reasoning.

    Mathematical Reasoning

    • Averages: Strengthen calculations involving average values. Practice finding the missing value in an average calculation, ensuring understanding of the formula and application to real-world situations (e.g., the student's average score).
    • Proportional Reasoning and Units: Review proportional reasoning techniques. Practice converting between units. Focus on representing problem information with specific units to avoid errors. Practice calculating portions based on nutritional values or quantities.

    Critical Thinking

    • Evaluating Logical Statements: Analyze statements to identify logical fallacies. Practice determining the validity of conclusions by examining the assumptions and premises. Practice evaluating contradictory arguments by multiple individuals.
    • Understanding Logical Fallacies: Identify common logical fallacies and misconceptions, especially those related to probability.

    Probability

    • Independent Events: Understand that past outcomes do not affect the probability of future independent trials. Revisit the concept of probability being constant for an independent event and not impacted by previous attempts.
