Boolean Expressions and De Morgan's Laws Answer Key
A teacher answer key for a multiple-choice practice set on Boolean expressions and De Morgan's Laws, aimed at 10th-grade programmers. Each answer includes a short rationale and flags the most common mistakes, such as flipping the conditions but forgetting to change the operator, so students can see exactly where their reasoning went wrong.

Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use this key during a review session after students complete the practice questions independently, so they can self-check and correct their reasoning.
- Discussion question: Why does choosing !A && !B fail to simplify !(A || B), even though both conditions are negated?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: Have students rewrite each expression in words first ("not A or not B") before selecting an option, then compare that to the symbolic form.
- Extension for advanced students: Ask them to write a truth table for one of the questions and verify the equivalence, or to simplify a more complex nested expression using De Morgan's Laws.
- Estimated time: About 10 to 15 minutes to walk through the key with the class, or 5 minutes for individual self-checking.
