If-Then Logic is a Grade 6 Computer Science worksheet focused on conditional reasoning, rule-based algorithms, and how programs choose between different paths. Students examine conditions, if-then statements, branches, alternative paths, and outcomes while practicing how to predict what a program will do.

Build Conditional Reasoning Skills

The resource moves students from identifying a condition to tracing the possible paths created by conditional logic. The reading passage explains how a condition can produce a yes-or-no result, how an if-then statement connects a condition to an action, and how branches represent possible routes through an algorithm. Students also explore how else can provide an alternative path when a condition is not met and how multiple conditions can create more than two possible outcomes.

What Students Practice

• Identify conditions and outcomes in rule-based algorithms.
• Explain how if-then statements create different program paths.
• Describe how branches determine which action a program follows.
• Use conditional reasoning to predict program outcomes.
• Connect conditions, branches, paths, and outcomes while tracing an algorithm.

Students work through a dialogue, answer-matching activity, cloze exercise, labeled diagram, informational reading passage, multiple-choice questions, true-or-false statements, short-answer questions, and an extended response. The tasks give students opportunities to identify conditional structures, apply them to examples such as game decisions, temperature checks, number comparisons, and school library choices, and explain their reasoning in writing.

Designed for Practical Classroom Use

Use this worksheet as guided practice during an Algorithms and Problem Solving lesson, independent work after instruction, review before assessment, or a written activity for reinforcing conditional logic. The reading passage provides direct instructional context, while the varied response formats give teachers several ways to check whether students can follow branches and predict outcomes.

Teacher Support Included

A separate Teacher Guide PDF accompanies the worksheet. It includes learning objectives, teaching tips, discussion questions, and common mistakes to help teachers introduce conditional reasoning, support classroom discussion, and address misconceptions about how program paths work.

This resource provides focused practice with if-then logic, conditional statements, branches, alternative paths, and algorithmic decision-making for Grade 6 Computer Science.
