Chapter 12

1. Chapter 12 on Deductive Reasoning and Decision Making relates follows along with the book. In the last chapter, we learned all about problem solving and creativity. This chapter kind of continues on from Chapter 11 and goes into reasoning and decision making.

2. There isn't anything that I am really unclear on. I thought that learning the heuristics was very interesting. Some of them I had to read over a few times to understand, but for the most part I understood them! Now could I actually go back and rename all of them and explain each one.. Probably not, but I could do my best.

3. I think that decision making and reasoning applies to our everyday lifestyle. Sometimes we do not realize it, but we are always making decisions. Whether it's deciding what to wear to work or what to do with a child who doesn't have his/her homework. After reading this chapter, I learned about all of the heuristics and the processes we go through when we are making decisions! It is important to see how our students reason and decide things.
