Introduction
Logic and Inference involve the ability to reach a logical conclusion based on provided information or evidence. For Grade 4 students, this helps develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
Explanation Step by Step
Inference is a mental process where we combine what we see or read with what we already know to make sense of a situation.
