To teach the Pythagoras theorem, a teacher has distributed a sheet on which four right-angled triangles were drawn and asks the child to find the relationship between the sides of a triangle. In the above situation, the teacher used—

The inductive method moves from specific examples to general principles - here, children examine multiple specific right-angled triangles to discover the general Pythagorean relationship. Deductive method would start with the theorem and apply it to examples. The teacher is letting students discover the pattern from examples, which is classic inductive reasoning.
