DESCRIPTION
Students learn to identify the hypothesis and the conclusion of a conditional statement, and write it's converse.TRANSCRIPT
Conditional Statements and Their ConversesConditional Statements and Their Converses
In mathematics, you will come across many _______________.
For Example: If a number is even,
then it is divisible by two.
If – then statements join two statements based on a condition:
A number is divisible by two only if the number is even.
Therefore, if – then statements are also called __________ __________ .
if-then statements
conditional statements
You will learn to write statements in if-then form and writethe converse of the statements.

How do you determine whether a conditional statement is true or false?
ConditionalStatement
True orFalse
Why?
If it is the 4th of July(in the U.S.), then it is aholiday.
If an animal lives in the water, then it is a fish.

True orFalse
Why?
If it is the 4th of July(in the U.S.), then it is aholiday.
True The statement is true becausethe conclusion follows fromthe hypothesis.
If an animal lives in the water, then it is a fish.

If an animal lives in the water, then it is a fish.
False You can show that the statement is false by givingone counterexample.
Whales live in water, butwhales are mammals, not fish.
