Understanding If-Then Statements

Objective:

Students will be able to identify and analyse If-Then statements by determining the hypothesis and conclusion for each statement.

Assessment:

Quiz: Students will be given a set of If-Then statements and will be required to identify the hypothesis and conclusion for each one.

Key Points:

• Definition of If-Then statements

• Identifying the hypothesis and conclusion

• Examples of If-Then statements

• Analysis of different scenarios using If-Then statements

Opening:

• Engage students with a real-life scenario involving If-Then statements and ask them to predict outcomes based on the presented conditions.

Introduction to New Material:

• Present the definition of If-Then statements clearly.

• Provide examples and guide students on how to determine the hypothesis and conclusion.

• Common misconception: Misunderstanding the order of the hypothesis and conclusion.

Guided Practice:

• Begin with simple examples and gradually increase the complexity.

• Monitor student understanding through guided questioning.

• Provide feedback and clarification as needed.

Independent Practice:

• Assign a set of If-Then statements for students to analyse independently.

• Students will need to identify the hypothesis and conclusion for each statement.

Closing:

• Have students share their findings and discuss any challenging examples as a class to summarise the lesson.

Extension Activity:

• Create new If-Then statements for students to analyse and come up with their own scenarios.

Homework:

• Homework: Students are required to find real-life examples of If-Then statements and identify the hypothesis and conclusion for each.

Standards Addressed:

• CCSS Standard: G-CO.A.2 - Represent transformations in the plane using, e.g., transparencies and geometry software; describe transformations as functions that take points in the plane as inputs and give other points as outputs.
