Pupil Teacher Activity Student’s Activity Whiteboard Work (optional)

What are compound sentences? Made up of two or more

statements.

Find the component statement of the

compound sentence- All prime numbers are even
All prime numbers are either even or odd. All prime numbers are odd.

What joins these two components of the Connectors or conjunctions.

sentence?

What is some other type of connectors or Problematic question

implications?

5- Statement of Aim
Today we will study about implications.
6- Teaching Point-1

Developmentary Questions
What are if then statements? If-then statement are
conditional statement.

Give one example of an if-then statement. If the angles are a linear

pair, then it is
supplementary.
Convert this sentence into if then If polygon has three sides
statement. then it is a triangle.
A triangle is a polygon with three sides.

Pupil Teacher Statement

Students will listen carefully
The statements with “if-then” are very
common in mathematics.
For example, consider the statement.
r: If you are born in some country, then
you are a citizen of that country.

When we look at this statement, we

observe that it corresponds to two
statements p and q given by

p: you are born in some country.

q: you are citizen of that country.

Then the sentence “if p then q” says that

in the event if p is true, then q must be
true.

Evaluation (only questions)

Rewrite the following statement with “if-then” in five different ways conveying the same meaning.
If a natural number is odd, then its square is also odd.

7- Teaching Point-2 Contrapositive and converse

Teaching Method

Pupil Teacher Activity Student’s Activity Whiteboard Work/Demonstration

Developmentary Questions
Generalisation – Students will listen
Contrapositive and converse are certain carefully.
other statements which can be formed
from a given statement with “if-then”.
Example –
If the physical environment changes, then
the biological environment changes.
Then the contrapositive of this statement
is –
 If the biological environment does not
change, then the physical environment
does not change

Both these statements convey the same

meaning.

If a number is divisible by 9, then it is If a number is not divisible

divisible by 3. by 3, it is not divisible by 9.

If you are born in India, then you are a If you are not a citizen of
citizen of India India, then you were not
born in India.

Pupil Teacher Statement

The above examples show the Students will listen carefully
contrapositive of the statement if p, then
q is “if ∼q, then ∼p”.
The converse of a given statement “if p,
then q” is if q, then p.

Evaluation

Write the contrapositive and converse of the following statements.

(i) If x is a prime number, then x is odd.
(ii) If the two lines are parallel, then they do not intersect in the same plane.

Closure
• The contrapositive of a conditional statement of the form "If p then q" is "If ~q then ~p".
• Symbolically, the contrapositive of p q is ~q ~p. A conditional statement is logically equivalent to
its contrapositive.
• “If it rains, then they cancel school.” "It rains" is the hypothesis. "They cancel school" is the conclusion.
• To form the converse of the conditional statement, interchange the hypothesis and the conclusion.

Recapitulation (only question)

Write each of the following statements in the form “if-then”

(i) You get a job implies that your credentials are good.
(ii) The Bannana trees will bloom if it stays warm for a month.
(iii) A quadrilateral is a parallelogram if its diagonals bisect each other.
(iv) To get an A+ in the class, it is necessary that you do all the exercises of the book.

Home Assignment (should extend learning of the students and not repeat what was taught)
Given statements in (a) and (b). Identify the statements given below as contrapositive or converse of each other.
(a) If you live in Delhi, then you have winter clothes.
(i) If you do not have winter clothes, then you do not live in Delhi.
(ii) If you have winter clothes, then you live in Delhi.
