Teaching Conditional Statements in Math

The document describes a lesson plan for teaching 8th grade mathematics. The lesson focuses on conditional statements. Students will work in groups to match hypothesis and conclusion cards. They will then discuss inductive and deductive reasoning, as well as the components of conditional statements. Finally, students will practice writing conditional statements and evaluating the truth value of statements. The lesson incorporates group work, discussion, and individual practice to develop students' understanding of conditional logic.

A. Read through the investigation (Example in Module 2.2).

Answer the following:

1. What are the children doing during the investigation?

 The children is throwing a dice and recording the result during the investigation.

2. What mathematical ideas are they developing?

 The children developing their mathematical ideas such as problem solving, reasoning
and communicating/engaging with other children.

3. How are the children recording their ideas?

 The children recording their ideas by throwing a dice and gathering the data. They are
observing the results of throwing a dice, and also observing their classmates work while
doing a collaborative work with other children to see more results.

4. What do you see as the advantages and disadvantages of using this approach to teach
mathematics?

 There are many advantages of using this approach to teach mathematics such as the
children will test their skills to respond to questions and ideas from peers and adults
especially to teacher's questions. The children would be able to explain numbers and
calculations while predicting what could happen and give a reason. However, the
disadvantage of this investigation is the children may not be satisfied with the obtained
results because the more they throw the die, the results is always changing. And their
result is not intertwined with the result of others. Well, its a matter of chances so to
solve the disadvantage, the teacher should limit how many chances of throwing the die
and explain to the children that the result of their work might be different to their
classmates.
B. LESSON PLAN

Teacher: Ara Vethica Hisona Grade Level: Grade 8

Time and Date: January 12, 2021, Tuesday Learning Area: Mathematics
(2:00-3:00PM)

I. OBJECTIVES

A. Content The learner demonstrates understanding of key concepts of axiomatic

Standards: development of geometry.

B. Performance The learner is able to communicate mathematical thinking with

Standard: coherence and clarity in formulating, investigating, analyzing
and solving real life problems.
C. Learning a. Determines relationship between the hypothesis and the conclusion
Competency: of an if-then statement.
b. Transforms a statement into an equivalent if-then statement.

Code: M8GE-11f-1; M8GE-11f-2

D. Objectives: The learner should be able to (a) determine the inductive and deductive
reasoning (b) identify the hypothesis and conclusion (c) transforms a
statement into an equivalent if-then statement and (d) determining the
truth values of conditional statement.

IV. PROCEDURES

A. Reviewing Previous (5 minutes)

Lesson or Presenting the - Greetings
New Lesson - Prayer
- Classroom management
- Checking of attendance
- Facilitator: Free Talk

B. Establishing a Purpose (15 minutes) Investigation Activity!

for the Lesson
Note: The (•)bulleted part of activity are guide for investigation
only. The activity can proceed without it.

The students will divide the class into 4 groups.

Objective: Identify the pairings of hypothesis and conclusion.

 The investigation: The more cards the student picked, the more cards they need to remember.
 Prior Learning: The students would have experience playing games involving pelmanism or
concentration.
 Explore the investigation:

Procedure:

1. Put all the 5 set of cards face down

Orange cards are the hypothesis.

Yellow cards are the conclusion.

 Make conjectures (guesses)

2. The first representative of the group will pick in Orange cards. Then, the student should tell what might
be the suitable ending for the statement that the student picked.

3. The first representative will pick another from Yellow cards. If the yellow card is not match with the
orange, then they need to return the cards into its original place. Then another group representative will
play.
Hypothesis: It rains. Conclusion: I get a good grade. X WRONG

4. If the students have picked the suitable ending card and if matches with the Orange card, then their
group will keep the pair. And, proceed to another pick by other group-mate.

Hypothesis: It rains. Conclusion: The ground is wet. √ CORRECT

 Look for patterns:

If it rains, then the ground is wet
If I do my assignment, then I get a good grade.
 Gather and remember the data:

NOTE: The students should watch their representative while playing and remember all the statement in
cards before it will return in its original place.

 Explain or prove results

 Make generalizations

5. The given time limit is 10 minutes. The group representative should read all the paired statement. The
teacher will check both statement whether it states the conditional statement. The group with the most
cards at the end wins.

C. Discussion (15 minutes)

Let's Understand

There are two types of reasoning in geometry: the deductive and inductive method of reasoning.

Inductive Method is a type of reasoning from particular to general. This type of reasoning looks for a
pattern thru observation, then follow by a general rule.

Example 1:

a. What is the next term in the figure? _____________

Answer:

Deductive Reasoning is a type of reasoning from general to particular. It is a process of deriving a

conclusion from previously known facts.
Example 2: Filipino is hospitable.
Alden is Filipino.
Therefore, he is hospitable.

CONDITIONAL STATEMENTS:
A conditional statement is a compound statement in the form of "if p then q" where,
where p is the hypothesis and q is the conclusion.
The hypothesis p is the phrase after the word "if"
The conclusion q is the phrase after the word "then".

Example A: Identify the hypothesis and conclusion in each of the following conditional statements.
1. If x + 5 = 7, then x = 2
Hypothesis: x + 5
Conclusion: x = 2

2. If an angle is a right angle, then it measures 90 .

Hypothesis: An angle is a right angle
Conclusion: It measures 90 .

But some conditional statements are not in the form "if—then" statements.

Example B: Determine the truth values of each conditional statement.

1. If it rains, then the ground is wet.
Answer: false, somebody might be watering the plants which makes the ground wet.

2. If an angle is a right angle, then it measures 90 .

Answer: true, since all right angle measures 90 .

D. Finding Applications of (15 minutes)

Concepts

Let's Apply (Exercises)

I. Underline once the hypothesis and twice the conclusion of the following conditional statements.

1. If 3x + 4 = 10, then x = 2.

2. If Today is Tuesday, then tomorrow is Wednesday.

3. If your body temperature is 39 C, then you have a fever.

4. If a number is prime, then it has no factor other than 1 and the number itself.

5. If a and b are negative numbers, then the product is positive.

6. If two plane intersect, then their intersection is a line.

7. If an angle is obtuse, then it measures greater than 90 .

8. If two angles have equal measures, then they are congruent.

9. If two angles are complementary, then their sum is 180 .

10. If two angles formed a linear pair, then they are supplementary.

II. Write the following in "if-then" statements. Then identify the hypothesis and conclusion.
11. Today is Thursday if yesterday is Wednesday.
Hypothesis: ___________________________
Conclusion: ___________________________
