I. OBJECTIVES
At the end of the lesson the students are expected to:
1. Symbolize propositions;
2. Perform the different types of operations on propositions

II. SUBJECT MATTER

Topic: Propositions and Symbols
References: General Mathematics by Orlando A. Oronce, pp. 266-277
Materials: Powerpoint presentation, chalk and board
Strategy: Interactive discussion
Skills to be developed: symbolizing, performing

III. PROCEDURE
A. Review
1. Teacher performs routine activities.
2. The class recall the type of statements discussed from the
previous session.

B. Motivation/Drill
3. Teacher presents statements using connectives and let
students identify its type and its symbol.
Statement Type Symbol
a. Roses are red and violets are
Conjunction ^
blue.
b. You are entitled to a 30%
Conditional ˅
discount if you are a member.
c. Either her watches a movie or
Disjunction →
dines with his friends.
d. If two sides of a triangle is
congruent, then the angle
opposite them are congruent,
Biconditional ↔
and if two angles are
congruent, then the sides
opposite them are congruent.
e. Its not the case that Herbert
Negation ~
is good.
C. Activities/Application
4. Teacher lets students sing the “tong tong tong pakitong-kitong”
song with a twist and emphasized that the letters p, q or r are
often used to represent propositions in logic.
5. Teacher demonstrates how to convert a compound proposition into
symbols.
Example 1:
Let p represents the proposition “He has green thumb”
q represents the proposition “He is a senior citizen”
a. He has green thumb and he is a senior citizen.

b. He does not have green thumb or he is not a senior citizen.

c. It is not the case that he has a green thumb or is a senior

citizen.

d. If he has green thumb, then he is not a senior citizen.

6. Teacher presents to the class the negation of the disjunction p or

q and negation of the conjunction p and q.
Negation of the disjunction p or q: ~(p ˅ q) means ~p ^ ~q
Negation of the conjunction p and q: ~(p ^ q) means ~p ˅ ~q
7. Students are presented with statements emphasizing the use of
commas to indicate which simple statements are grouped together.
Example:
a. In words: Arnold is a working student (w) or under 25 years old
(u), and lives in Manila (l).
In symbols: (w ˅ u) ^ l
b. In words: Arnold is a working student (w), or under 25 years
old (u) and lives in Manila (l).
In symbols: w ˅ (u ^ l)
8. Teacher asks students to convert in symbols and identify the given
proposition as a conjunction, disjunction, negation, conditional or
biconditional.
a. Tony is absent (t) or Raquel is absent (r), and it is examination
day (e).
 Answer: (t ˅ r) ^ e - conjunction

b. Either Jay passed the test (j), or Lina passed the test (l) and
Jon failed (o).

Answer: j ˅ (l ^ o) - disjunction

c. It is false that if I go on vacation (v), then I have received my

13th month pay (m).
Answer: ~(v → m) - conditional
d. If my brother pays the rental (r) and I pay the electricity (e),
then my father pays the tuition fees (t).
Answer: (r ^ e) → t - conditional
9. The teacher shows the table of statement-negation to the class.

Statement Negation
All items are for sale. Some books are not for sale.
No items are for sale. Some items are for sale.
10. Teacher demonstrates how to negate a statement.
a. All bottles have labels.
Negation: Some bottles have no labels; or Not all bottles have
labels.
b. All candidates will get the second chance.
Negation: Some candidates will not be given the second chance.
c. No student in uniform can enter the internet café.

café.
d. Some participants are more active than the organizers.
Negation: No participants are more active than the organizers.

GENERALIZATION
11. Students are asked the following questions:
a. What are the different compound statements?
b. How did you symbolize propositions?
c. What does the use of comma indicates?

IV. EVALUATION
I. Direction: Write each of the following statements in symbolic form.
1. Let p = “Mathematics is difficult” and q = “PE is easy”.
a. If Mathematics is difficult, then PE is easy.
Answer: p → q
b. It is false that PE is not easy.
Answer: ~(~q)
c. PE is not easy, and Mathematics is difficult.
Answer: ~q ^ p
d. Mathematics is difficult, or PE is easy.
 Answer: p ˅ q
e. PE is easy iff Mathematics is difficult.
Answer: q ↔ p
II. Add parenthesis in each statement to form the indicated compound
statement. If none are needed, indicate so.
a. Conjunction: p ↔ q ^ r
b. Disjunction: p ˅ q ^ ~r
c. Conditional: ~p ˅ q → r
III. Give the negation of each statement.
