Detailed Lesson Plan in Mathematics 8

I. Objectives
At the end of the lesson the students will be able to:
1. define an inverse, converse, and contrapositive of a conditional (if-then)
statement;
2. classify the statement as inverse, converse, or contrapositive of conditional
(if-then) statement; and
3. relate the inverse, converse, and contrapositive of conditional (ifthen)
statement to real-life situations.

A. Preparatory Activities

1. Prayer
2. Checking of Attendance
3. Review

In order to refresh your memory from our past

lesson, let us have an activity;

Using the diagram below, create your own

conditional statement that is not an if-then form,
then determine its corresponding hypothesis
and conclusion then convert it into if-then form.

Present your work in front. Students presented their work.)

Thank you for sharing your work

4. Motivation
Now, let us have an activity, determine the
hypothesis and conclusion. Group yourself into
three (3), assign within your group- 1,2 and 3. 1
will identify the hypothesis, 2 will identify the
conclusion and 3 will transform the conditional
statement into if-then statement.

1. “Squares have right angles”

2. “Do your homework and you will get
candy.”
3. “Parallel lines never intersect”
4. “Join this fitness program and you will
lose weight”.
5. “Every segment has exactly one
midpoint”?
1. Hypothesis: " Squares have."
Conclusion: " right angles
If-then: If the shape is a square,
then it has right angles
2. Hypothesis: “Do your homework”
Conclusion: “you will get candy”
If-then: If you do your homework,
then you will get candy

3. Hypothesis: “Parallel lines”

Conclusion: “never intersect”
If-then: If two lines are parallel,
then they never intersect.

4. Hypothesis: “Join this fitness

program”
Conclusion: “you will lose weight”
If-then: If you join this fitness
program, then you will lose weight.

5. Hypothesis: “Every segment”

Conclusion: “has exactly one
midpoint”

You got the answers?

Yes Sir.
Very good! Thank you very much.

1. Presentation

Conditional statements make appearances

everywhere. In mathematics or elsewhere, it
doesn’t take long to run into something of the
form “If p then q.” Conditional statements are
indeed important. What is also important are
statements that are related to the original
conditional statement by changing the
position of p, q and the negation of a
statement. Starting with an original
statement, we end up with three new
conditional statements that are named the
converse, the contrapositive, and the inverse.

Here are the learning objectives that you

will attain after our discussion.

Please read the objectives:
At the end of the lesson the we will be able
to:
1. define an inverse, converse, and
contrapositive of a conditional (if-then)
statement;
2. classify the statement as inverse,
converse, or contrapositive of
 conditional (if-then) statement; and
3. relate the inverse, converse, and
contrapositive of conditional (if-then)
statement to real-life situations.
2. Discussion

Before we define the converse,

contrapositive, and inverse of a conditional
statement, we need to examine what is
negation.

Every statement in logic is either true or

false. The negation of a statement simply
involves the insertion of the word “not” at the
proper part of the statement. The addition of
the word “not” is done so that it changes the
truth status of the statement.

When the statement p is true, the statement

“not p” is false. Similarly, if P is false, its
negation “not p” is true. Negations are
commonly denoted with a tilde ~. So instead
of writing “not p” we can write ~p.

The Inverse, Converse, and

Contrapositive of a Conditional
Statement. Conditional statement is a
statement that can be expressed in if-then
statement. This statement is in the form, “if p,
then q”. In the if-then form, the two parts of
conditional statement can be easily identified.
One part, the statement following if, is called
the hypothesis. The other part, the statement
following then, is the conclusion.

The if-then statements, in terms of p and q,

can be converted into inverse, converse and
contrapositive forms. The table below
summarizes the converted statements in
terms of p and q.

To write the inverse of a conditional

statement, simply negate both the
hypothesis
and conclusion.

Example:

Remember, negate both hypothesis and

conclusion, not negating only one of them.

Another example:
“If the grass is wet, then it is raining.”
 “If it is not raining, then the grass is not wet.”
What the inverse of the conditional
statement?

Very good.

To write the converse of a conditional

statement, simply interchange the
hypothesis and the conclusion.

Example:

What did you observe on the table? The then part becomes the if part and the if
part becomes the then part.

Nice observation!

Going back to the example about raining.

“If it is raining, then the grass is wet.” “If the grass is wet, then it is raining.”

What will be the converse of the conditional

statement? .

Very good.

To form the contrapositive of a conditional

statement, first, get its inverse. Then,
interchange its hypothesis and conclusion.

Example:
“If you drink water, then you obey your thirst.”

Contrapositive:
If you do not obey your thirst, then you do not
drink water. If got negated and then interchanged. It is
like a combination of converse and inverse
What happen to the statement? sir.

That is right! Contrapositive is a combination

blend of converse and inverse.

The statement:

“If it is raining, then the grass is wet.”

“If the grass is not wet, then it is not raining.”
What will be its contrapositive?

Very good!

In order that you can easily remember

converse, inverse and contrapositive,
memorize these images:

Do you get it?

Very good!

have to interpret the statement first before we Hypothesis: I pass the exam
will determine the hypothesis and conclusion Conclusion: I will pass the course
and transform it into an if-then form. If-then form: If I pass the exam, then I will
pass the course.

Let us try more examples.

Directions: Determine the following statement

if it is converse, inverse or contrapositive of
the given conditional (if-then) statement.

Conditional statement: If it’s a right angle,

then its measure is 90 degrees. 1. Converse
1. If the measure of the angle is 90 2. Contrapositive
degrees, then it is a right angle 3. Inverse
2. If the measure of the angle is not 90
degrees, then it is not a right angle.
3. If the angle is not a right angle, then
its measure is not 90 degrees

Conditional statement: If you do your

homework, then you will pass in 4. Contrapositive
Mathematics. 5. Converse
4. If you do not pass in Mathematics, 6. Inverse
then you do not do your homework.
5. If you passed in Mathematics, then
you did your homework.
6. If you do not do your homework, then
you will not pass in Mathematics.

3. Generalization I learned the concept converse, inverse and

you learned from our discussion?
Very good. Who can give other realization?
Correct. Any more lesson you have learned

contrapositive.
There are ways to transform a conditional
statement or if-then statement.
We must understand the conditional
statement before transforming into a
converse, inverse and contrapositive
statement.

None Sir.

Do you have questions and clarifications

 regarding to our topic?

If there’s none, prepare for a quiz.
