These worksheets will teach your students how to construct truth tables according to inclusive disjunctions.

A disjunction is formed when two statements are formed into one by using the connector OR. This type of statement is symbolized by the symbol (downward carrots). Disjunctions are pretty easy to evaluate because only one of the statements has to true in order form the statement to true. The complete disjunction is false if either of the statements is false. A disjunction statement is only false if the operands are false as well. For instance, Paul is on the football team or Paul is on the basketball team. Even if one of those statements is true, the whole compound system will be true. Let us consider both statements by p and q, and solve them in the truth table.

p q p v q
T T T
F T T
T F T
F F F

You will be evaluating the overall truth value of many different statements that contain disjunctions with these problems. These worksheets explains how to construct truth tables according to the given inclusive disjunctions. Students will use these disjunctions to determine value across each cell.

Disjunctions Using Logic Tables Lesson and Practice

Students are walked through this problem: Make a truth table for the statement: ~U V I. If the original is true, the ~ statement is false, and if the original is false, the ~ statement is true.

Worksheet

The symbol " V " signifies inclusive disjunction: a V statement is true whenever either (or both) of its component statements is true; it is false only when both of them are false.
