 Lesson

1 If-then Statements

What’s In

This module focuses on how to determine the relationship between the

hypothesis and the conclusion of an if-then statement. Before we start with our new
topic, let us review first on the previous lesson.

Now, try to answer the activity below.

Activity 1. Am I Valid or Not!

Direction: Tell whether the second statement is a valid consequence of the first
statement. Write Valid if it is valid and Not Valid if it is not.

________________ 1. A boy with a temperature of 38°celcius has a fever.

Michael has a temperature of 38°celcius, then he has a fever.

________________ 2. Beauty titlists are body conscious.

Catriona Gray is a beauty titlist, then she is a body conscious.

________________ 3. Two lines are parallel that do not intersect.

Lines a and b do not intersect, then they are parallel.

________________ 4. If it rains, then the mass dance demonstration will be

cancelled. It rained, therefore the mass dance demonstration
was cancelled.

________________ 5. The sum of two right angles is 180°.

X and Y has a sum of 180°, then the two angles are right
angles.
 What’s New

Are you now ready for the next lesson? Identifying the hypothesis and
conclusions are essential in determining the relationship between the hypothesis
and the conclusion of an if-then statement. To introduce the new lesson, let us do
the activity below.

Activity 2. Complete Me!

Direction: Complete the second statement to make it a valid consequence of the
first statement.

1. A student who attends law school becomes a lawyer.

Almira attends law school, therefore _______________.

2. Students who are good in mathematics are smart.

Enchong is smart, therefore___________________________.

3. Two adjacent angles whose sum is 180° form a linear pair.

m=110° and n=70° are adjacent angles, therefore _______________.

4. An angle measure 90° is a right angle.

y measures 90°, therefore _______________.

5. A dog is an animal with four legs.

Brownie is a dog, therefore _______________.

Nice try! You are now ready to enhance your skills in determining the
relationship between the hypothesis and the conclusion of an if-then statement.

What is It!

Are you now excited to explore more about our new lesson for today? So, let
us start with a presentation of developed strategy that you can use in dealing with
hypothesis & conclusions. This strategy will enhance your skills in determining the
relationship between the hypothesis and the conclusion of an if-then statement. So,
it’s time to gear up your mind.

A conditional statement is also referred to an if-then statement which is

composed of two clauses: the if-clause and the then-clause. We can denote a letter
for each clause, p for the if-clause and q for the then-clause. This statement is in
the form, “If p then q”. The conditional statement is formed by joining two statement
p and q using the word if & then. The p statement is the hypothesis and the q
statement is the conclusion.

A simple implication is a simple flow of reasoning from the if-clause to the

thenclause.

Example 1: Wearing a mask helps prevent the spread of Covid-19 virus.

If-then form:

If you wear a mask, then you help prevent the spread of Covid-19 virus.
hypothesis
conclusion
The hypothesis contains the given information or the facts. The
conclusion is a result or the effect of the hypothesis.

Hypothesis: You wear a mask.

Conclusion: You help prevent the spread of Covid-19 virus.

Example 2: A cone has exactly one endpoint.

If-then form: If a figure is a cone, then it has exactly one endpoint.

Hypothesis: A figure is a cone.
Conclusion: It has exactly one endpoint.

Example 3: All even numbers are divisible by 2.

If-then form: If a number is even, then it is divisible by 2.

Hypothesis: A number is even.
Conclusion: It is divisible by 2.

Conditional statements are not always in the if-then form. However, these can be
written in that form for easier identification of the hypothesis & conclusion.

Example 1: I will wash the car if the weather is nice.

If-then form: If the weather is nice, then I will wash the car.
Hypothesis: The weather is nice.
Conclusion: I will wash the car.
Example 2: I will be a millionaire when I win the lottery.

If-then form: If I win the lottery, then I will be a millionaire.

Hypothesis: I win the lottery.
Conclusion: I will be a millionaire.
 What’s More

By this time, you already know how to determine the relationship between
the hypothesis and the conclusion of an if-then statement. Since the next goal is to
transform the conditional statement in the if-then form, now let us answer the
activities provided.

Activity 4: Determine Me!

Direction: Transform the conditional statement in the if-then form and determine
the hypothesis and conclusion.

1. A six-sided polygon is a hexagon.

If-then form: _________________________________
Hypothesis: _________________________________
Conclusion: _________________________________

2. The even number is divisible by two.

If-then form: _________________________________
Hypothesis: _________________________________
Conclusion: _________________________________

3. Cigarette smoking is dangerous to your health.

If-then form: _________________________________
Hypothesis: _________________________________
Conclusion: _________________________________

4. A generous, helpful & kind-hearted person will gain more friends.

If-then form: _________________________________
Hypothesis: _________________________________
Conclusion: _________________________________

Activity 5: Analyze & Determine Me!

Direction: Transform the conditional statement in the if-then form and determine
the hypothesis and conclusion.

1. You are inspired when you are in love.

If-then form: ______________________________________________________________

Hypothesis: ______________________________________________________________
Conclusion: ______________________________________________________________
2. You are a licensed professional teacher when you pass the Teacher’s Board
Exam.

If-then form: ______________________________________________________________

Hypothesis: ______________________________________________________________
Conclusion: ______________________________________________________________
 3. I will play outside when the weather is nice.

If-then form: ______________________________________________________________

Hypothesis: ______________________________________________________________
Conclusion: ______________________________________________________________

What I Have Learned

Here is another activity for you to summarize what you have learned in this
module.

Activity 6: Fill Me In!

Direction: Fill in the blank with the correct word that will make the statement true.

1. A _________________________ is also referred to as an if-then statement

which is composed of two clauses: the if-clause and the then-clause.

2. We can denote a letter for each clause, p for the if-clause and q for the
then-clause. This statement is in the form, “If p then q”. The conditional
statement is formed by joining two statement p and q using the word
____________________.

3. The p statement is the hypothesis and the _________________ statement is

the conclusion.

4. The ____________________ contains the given information or the facts.

5. The ___________________ is a result or the effect of the hypothesis

Good job! Now you’re up for the next challenge of this module.

What I Can Do

At this point, you are now going to apply what you have learned in
determining the relationship between the hypothesis and the conclusion of an if-
then statement in real-life situations.
Activity 7: My Real World!
Direction: Give two real-world examples of a conditional
statement. Rewrite the conditional statement in the if-
then form and determine the hypothesis and
conclusion. Write your answer on the space provided.
1. The topic is about Parallel lines.
If-then form: ________________________________________________________
Hypothesis: ________________________________________________________
Conclusion: ________________________________________________________
2. The topic is about a health conscious person.
If-then form: ________________________________________________________
Hypothesis: ________________________________________________________
Conclusion: ________________________________________________________

Thumbs up! You did a good job in applying what you have learned.
