    This lesson plan introduces the rules of conditional and indirect proof to students. It defines conditional proof as a method to prove conditional statements by assuming the if-part is true and deriving the then-part. Indirect proof is defined as proving something by assuming its opposite and showing this leads to a contradiction. Examples of applying these rules are presented. Students will practice solving proof of contradiction problems and generalize their understanding of when these proof techniques are used and why considering other perspectives is important. An evaluation with multiple choice questions follows to assess student comprehension.

    Lesson Plan in Mathematics

    RULE OF CONDITIONAL AND INDIRECT PROOF

    Objectives:
    At the end of the lesson, the students will be able to:
    A. Define the rules of conditional and indirect proof.
    B. Solve the proof of contradiction given.
    C. Learn to consider others belief when it comes in decision-making.
    II. Subject Matter
    Topic: Rule of Conditional and Indirect Proof
    Reference: Minh-Loan Phan (Education Creative Commons Attribution License) https://math is
    power 4u. yulasite.com and https://www.youtube.comm/watch? V=w8wdk
    Materials: PowerPoint Presentation, marker, hand-outs, questionnaire

    III. Procedure:
    A. Preliminary Activities
    1. Daily Activity
    a. Prayer
    b. Greetings
    c. Checking of Attendance
    d. Review

    2. Motivation
    Let the students determine the statement which are true and false. This game is
    entitled “Celebrity Bluff.”
    The teacher will choose randomly among the students to read the statement. Each student will
    pick a questionnaire or a piece of paper and determine if the statement is fact or bluff. The
    student will say the reason behind.

    B. Developmental Activity
     Presentation
    The students share the assumption in the sentence that have
    been read.
     Definition
    What is the rule of conditional proof and indirect proof?

    Conditional Proof- it is used to prove a conditional, an if-then statement, such as.


    If Rodrigo Duterte Is President, then the president is a man.
    To prove P>Q
    Assume P
    Derive Q (assumption P)
    Conclusion P>Q
    What is Indirect Proof?
    Indirect Proof- is a method for proving something by showing that the assumption of its
    opposite would lead to a contradiction.
    -also called “Proof of Contradiction”
    Steps to an Indirect Proof
    1. Temporarily assume the conclusion is not true or Assume ~P.
    2. Logically reason until you reach a contradiction or derive a contradiction.
    3. State the temporary assumption must be false, therefore the initial conclusion must be
    true or Conclude P.
    Example of Indirect Proof:
    If x=2, then 3x-5 is not equal to 10. Prove this statement by contradiction.
    1. We start by assuming the opposite.
    2. Assume that 3x-5=10
    +5 +5
    Then…. 3x=15 (Sub Property of Equality)
    X=5
    Therefore, 3x-5 is not equal to 10.
    X=5, contradicts x=2, As a result our assumption is false.
    IV. Generalization
    The teacher will ask the students some questions about the topic.
    1. What is the rule of conditional and indirect proof?
    2. How to solve the proof of contradiction?
