Step / Time Teacher's Activities Student's Activities Learning Points
Step 1: 5 minutes - Introduction
Introduce the concept of a 'statement' as a sentence that is either true or false, but not both. Giv [Preview only]
Students listen and identify statements from the given list.
A statement must have a definite truth value.
Step 2: 10 minutes - Negation and Conjunction
Define negation ($\sim p$) as the opposite of a statement $p$. Define conjunction ($p \land q$) as t [Preview only]
Students write the negation of given statements and form conjunctions.
Negation flips the truth value; conjunction requires both parts to be true.

## Logical Reasoning I **What is Logical Reasoning?** Logical reasoning uses rules to determine if a statement is true or false. It is the basis of many mathematical proofs and computer systems. **Key Points** 1. A **statement** is a sentence that is either true ($T$) or false ($F$). 2. **Negation** ($\sim p$) is the opposite of a statement $p$. 3. **Conjunction** ($p \land q$) is true only if bot [Preview only]
