Boolean algebra notation and their truth tables
Sample
Questions on Logic Gates, Circuits and Truth Tables
- a handout for students to complete to reinforce the ideas of logic
gates, circuits, truth tables and the relationships between them
Discovering
the Rules of Boolean Algebra
- a series of worksheets to help students discover the rules of
Boolean algebra for themselves
Simplifying
