conjecture	a statement that attempts to make a conclusion but has not been proved true or false
counterexample	a situation that provides evidence that a logical statement is false
generalize	the process of using observations of specific events to make statements or conjectures about more general situations
inductive reasoning	a form of logical thinking that makes general conclusions based on specific situations, inductive reasoning takes the path of observation to generalization to conjecture
overgeneralize	a logical mistake caused by basing a generalization on inadequate evidence or observation or by making too broad a conjecture, such as generalizing a pattern seen only in whole numbers to all real numbers
