Deductive reasoning is when you apply one or more properties or rules in order to reach a conclusion. An example: “I had two cookies on the counter a minute ago. Now, there is only one cookie on the counter. My son is the only other person in the house. I did not take the missing cookie. Therefore, my son must have taken it.” That’s obviously not the best example in the world, but it’s the easiest to see. The best real examples would probably be the detective work used in solving cold cases.
