Deductive reasoning is a type of logic reasoning which is needed for problem solving. You will use this today to solve problems about geometry. This type of reasoning is sometimes called as top-down thinking or moving from general to specific. Deductive reasoning relies on given true statements (also called premises). Based on these true statements, you can arrive at your conclusion or solutions.
Fun fact: Sherlock Holmes, the detective character from books and movies, is a great example of someone who uses deductive reasoning all the time. He draws conclusions by observing the situation, and he uses these observations to find the criminal and solve the crime.
