Logic Gates — AND & OR (Grades 6–7)
Two statements can be combined: "A AND B" is true only when both are true; "A OR B" is true when at least one is true (so it's false only when both are false). Example: "the number is even AND greater than 5" is true for 6 and 8, but false for 3 (fails both) or 4 (not greater than 5).

Seeing it in action
Worked example
Is "even AND greater than 5" true for the number 4?
Even ✓, but greater than 5 ✗. AND needs both → False.
Try a few
"even OR greater than 5" for 4?
it's even.
"even AND greater than 5" for 8?
"even OR greater than 5" for 3?
neither.
