What are they? The annoying little word problems that make math all the more fun! Conditionals are when sentences (terms) mean something true but when changed (inverse). They're things are called logic.
Logic is basically common sense. If something makes sense one way it probably is true. Except in math there are different types of logistics. First you have to know the proper language, when words are flipped to mean the same thing, they are called contrapositives.
So something like "If today is Tuesday then tomorrow is Wednesday." could be switched too "if today is not Wednesday, it must be tuesday."
Easy right?
Next is inductive reasoning. That just means its there in the answer.
"Mary's mom has four kids, April, May and June. Who's the fourth child?"
Mary duh.
There are also conjunctions which are the words that make up statements, (we watched an entire school house rock video to it in class) and they are "if, then, are, but, nor, or,"
Those are the properties to logic. Next step is solving logic problems.
