Mathematics — first biennium · Lesson
The truth value of a compound proposition depends on the connective. An implication is false only when its premise is true and its conclusion false.
Prerequisites: Sets; true and false
Goal: Use negation, and, or and implication in elementary cases.
In this lesson: Use negation, and, or and implication in elementary cases.
New concept: A proposition is a statement that can be true or false. Negation reverses the truth value; ‘and’ requires both parts to be true, ‘or’ requires at least one, and an implication links a condition to a consequence.
How to proceed: For 'and' both must be true; for 'or' at least one is enough; for implication look for the single T→F case.
You can already assume: Sets; true and false.

Data / situation: p is true; q is true.
ConceptStep separates what is required from what is recommended or useful as reinforcement. Only required prerequisites block your progress.
Relationships: solid line = required · dashed line = recommended · dotted line = reinforcement.
