Activity 1.1 Logical Connectives and Truth Table

This document contains a logical connectives and truth table activity with multiple parts: 1) It asks students to identify propositions and their truth values from sentences. 2) It assigns variables to statements and has students determine the truth values of compounds statements using logical connectives like "and", "or", and "not". 3) It has students write negations of statements and translate statements between symbolic and English forms using variables and logical connectives. 4) It constructs truth tables to evaluate the truth values of compound propositions using connectives like "and", "or", and "not".
