Here's one way you might go about that:

class Parent
   def example1
     puts "In example 1."
   end

   def example2
     puts "In example 2."
   end
end

class Child < Parent
   %w[1 2].each do |suffix|
     define_method("example#{suffix}") do
       puts "Forwarding to example #{suffix}..."
       super
     end
   end
end

c = Child.new
c.example1
c.example2

__END__

Hope that helps.
