Using Logical Reasoning and Counterexamples in Algebra – Critical Thinking with Functions

Master the art of logical reasoning and counterexamples in algebra. This video explores how to determine whether mathematical statements are always true using real-life examples, critical thinking, and function analysis. From analyzing quadratics to identifying domain from real-world contexts, we cover a variety of problem types that help students build strong algebraic reasoning skills.

This lesson supports Common Core Standards HSF.IF.C.7 (Graph functions and identify key features) and HSF.IF.B.5 (Relate domain to real-world scenarios). It's ideal for high school students, teachers, and anyone looking to reinforce foundational algebra concepts.

Topics include:
Using logic and counterexamples to evaluate statements
Domain of functions in context
Function transformations and graph analysis
Identifying and correcting common algebra errors
