Boolean Logic and Logic Gates

288 resources created by 254 users

This Boolean Logic and Logic Gates page on GoConqr gathers community-made quizzes, mind maps, flashcards, notes and slides, from AND, OR and NOT gates to Boolean laws, adders and Karnaugh maps. It's built for school students revising a topic, and for teachers after ready-made material, with a few resources for university students too. There are over 240 resources here, including more than 20 quizzes and over 100 mind maps. Pick a gate, try a quiz to find your gaps, then make your own revision set.

About Boolean Logic and Logic Gates

GoConqr Original

What the resources cover

The page starts with the basics. The mind map called Logic Gates sets out the AND, OR, NOT, XOR, NOR and NAND gates. It notes that both inputs must be 1 for an AND output of 1, and that a NOT gate gives the opposite of its input. Another map on the same topic adds exam technique: label inputs and outputs, and draw what is in the brackets first.

Beyond single gates, you will find resources on truth tables, Boolean laws and simplifying expressions. The flashcard deck Rules of Boolean Algebra drills the zero and unit rules, complement relations and idempotent laws. The Boolean Algebra Laws mind map links set operations to the matching Boolean ones.

Where to start

  1. Open a gate-by-gate mind map such as Logic Gates to see the shapes and rules.
  2. Work through the flashcard deck Logic Gates to fix each gate's behaviour.
  3. Try the quiz XOR Gates - Computing AS or the Truth Tables - Revision Quiz.
  4. Move on to Boolean laws and simplification.

Going further

Several flashcard decks follow OCR Computer Science A Level topics. They include half and full adders, D-type flip-flops, Karnaugh maps and simplifying Boolean expressions. Many maps are labelled 2.4 Computational Logic, which suits GCSE Computer Science revision, and there are slide sets on Karnaugh maps and Boolean logic.

Using quizzes and maps together

Read a map first, then take a quiz without looking. Any question you miss tells you which branch to revisit. Flip through the matching flashcards afterwards, and then retry the quiz.

Where it fits

This unit sits in the Computer Systems strand of Computing and ICT. Teachers can pick a map or deck to set as starter or revision material. Choose one resource today and see how far you get.

Frequently asked questions

Which resource should I open first?

Start with the Logic Gates mind map. It covers the AND, OR, NOT, XOR, NOR and NAND gates in one place, with a short rule for each. Then move to a flashcard deck on the same gates and finish with a quiz to check what stuck.

Are there quizzes on individual gates?

Yes. Besides general quizzes, the page lists separate quizzes on AND, OR, NOT and NAND gates, plus XOR Gates - Computing AS and a Truth Tables revision quiz. Taking one gate at a time makes it easier to see which rules you have not yet learned.

Which exams do these resources suit?

Resources here mention GCSE Computer Science and A-level Computer Science. Some decks follow OCR Computer Science A Level topics such as adders, Karnaugh maps and simplifying expressions. Most of the material is for school students, with a smaller share aimed at university study.

Do the mind maps go beyond basic gates?

They do. Alongside gate maps, there are maps on Boolean algebra laws, simplifying Boolean algebra, combinational logic and gate-level minimisation. The Boolean Algebra Laws map also links set operations such as union and intersection to their Boolean equivalents.

Are the resources free, and who made them?

Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself. A free account lets you save quiz scores and create your own quizzes, maps, flashcards and notes.

What if I can't find the exact topic I need?

Try a nearby resource first, such as the Boolean laws flashcards or a combinational logic map, which often cover related ideas. If a gap remains, you can build your own flashcards or mind map for that topic and use it alongside the quizzes.
