The document contains examples and explanations of logical reasoning concepts including conditional statements, their converses, inverses, contrapositives, and biconditionals. It also includes examples of properties like reflexive, symmetric, and transitive properties. Venn diagrams and logic puzzles are presented. Worked examples show how to determine the order of steps to solve an equation and use clues to determine information.

8. Conditional:
Made up of hyp. & concl.
Uses if..., then … Or
…only if…
Two points are collinear only
if they are on the same
line.
OR
If two points are http://www.cartoonstock.com/directory/c/conditional_offer.asp
collinear, then they are on
the same line.
9. Converse:
Switch hyp. & concl.
http://www.free-extras.com/search/1/converse+batman+begins.htm
If two points are on the same line, then
they are collinear.
10. Inverse:
Negate both hyp. &
concl. of cond.
If two points are not
collinear, then they are
not on the same line.

11. Contrapositive:
Negate both hyp. & concl. Of converse
If two points are not on the same
line, then they are not collinear.
12. Biconditional:
Conditional + converse
Both must be true!
If two points are collinear, then they are on
the same line.
If two points are on the same line, then they
are collinear.
= Two points are collinear if and only if
they are on the same line.
13. Create your own
At your table:
Write a conditional statement based on a
school rule.
Create the converse, inverse, contrapositive
and biconditional statements using the
cutouts.
Determine if statements are true or false.
○ If false, provide a counterexample.
14. What’s the converse?
1. If M is the midpoint of AB, then AM=AB.
If AM=AB, then M is the midpoint of AB.
