In terms of “English,” interrogative statements, imperative statements, or fragments are NOT considered mathematical statements.

3. What are some example of mathematical and non- mathematical sentences? Math Sentences Congruent angles are angles that have the same measure. 17 – 5 = 12 The Brooklyn Bridge is in New York.

5. Specific Types of Mathematical Sentences Vocabulary wordMeaningSymbol Used When are these types of statements “true?” NegationThese have the opposite truth value of a given statement. ~ If the original is true, the negation is false. If the original is false, the negation is true. ConjunctionA compound sentence using the connective “and.” ^ Both parts of the statement need to be true in order for the statement to be true. DisjunctionA compound sentence using the connective “or.” V Only one part needs to be true to form a true statement.

6. Let’s Practice!! State whether each of the following is a mathematical sentence. 1)Thanksgiving is on the fourth Thursday in November. 2)Where did you go? 3)Y – 7 = 3y + 4

A flute is a percussion instrument and a piano is a percussion instrument. 2. A piano has 88 keys and is a percussion instrument. 3.
