- Apply negation concepts to solve logic problems.
Conjunction
The student will be able to:
- Define logical connectors, compound statements, and conjunctions.
- List a conjunction in symbolic form and in sentence form.
- Recognize that the conjunction of two open sentences depends on the replacement value of the variable in each.

- Construct a truth table for a disjunction to determine its truth values.
- Given two statements, construct a truth table for their conjunction and disjunction.
- Apply disjunction concepts to solve logic problems.

Biconditional
The student will be able to:
- Define biconditional statements.
- List a biconditional in symbolic form, and in sentence form using "if and only if" or "iff".
- Identify the hypothesis and the conclusion of a biconditional.
- Evaluate a sentence to determine whether or not it is biconditional.
- Recognize the difference between a conditional and a biconditional statement.
- Apply biconditional concepts to solve logic problems.
