Inductive reasoning can be a difficult concept to practice because inductive reasoning is the process of observing data, recognizing patterns based on the data, and making generalizations about that pattern that can be used to predict future outcomes. Patterns will vary from problem to problem and that's what makes using inductive reasoning to complete number sequences tough. Experiment with ways of adding/ subtracting or multiplying/ dividing to express a relationship from one term in the sequence to the next. Lets look at inductive reasoning a little closer:
