Monday Wake Up 1. Tell me one thing you did over the weekend. 2.What is the difference between a paragraph proof and a column proof? 3.True or False: If a quadrilateral is a square, then all four sides are equal. If all four sides of a quadrilateral are equal, then the figure is a square.

1.7 Deductive Structure Deductive structure: conclusions are justified by means of previously assumed or provided statements.
3
Four Elements: 1.Undefined terms 2.Assumptions known as postulates 3.Definitions 4.Theorems and other conclusions
4
Postulate: an unproven assumption Definition: states the meaning of a term, they are ALWAYS reversible!
5
Example stated: 1If a point is the midpoint of a segment, then the point divides the segment into 2 congruent segments. 2If a point divides a segment into 2 congruent segments, then the point is midpoint of the segment.
6
Conditional Statement: Phypothesis: “If” part of the statement. Qconclusion: “Then” part of the statement. LOGIC: p q (read) “If p, then q.” “p implies q.”
7
Converse: Of p implies q is q implies p p qq p Theorem: math statement you can prove Come with number Can’t use T1 to prove T1
8
Theorems and postulates are not always reversible! If 2 <“s are right <‘s, then they are congruent. True Converse: If 2 <‘s are congruent, then they are right <‘s. FALSE!
9
T or F? Conditional statement and converse. If an animal is a dog, then it has four legs. If an animal has four legs, then it is a dog. False!
10
If a student receives a B on the test, then his/her grade is between 80 and 90. State the converse and tell if it is T or F. If the students grade is between 80 and 90, then the student receives a B on the test. True.
