Everyday cause and a possible alternative cause
Identify the stated direction before reversing it. A different cause can defeat the converse.
AIMS reasoning checkpoint
Original AIMS parallel: a club member gets a card, but a visitor may receive the same card.

Divisibility in two directions
Write a general multiple as a product, then look for a multiple of the smaller divisor that fails the reverse.
AIMS reasoning checkpoint
Keep the original textbook numbers in your book; AIMS uses fresh numerical examples in REVERSE.

Perfect squares and factor partners
Give distinct reasons for the odd-factor-count direction and the square direction.
AIMS reasoning checkpoint
The positive self-partner is unique; include n = 1.

Equal triangle areas and congruence
Equal area need not determine shape and size. Congruence does preserve area.
AIMS reasoning checkpoint
AIMS triangles with perpendicular legs 3,8 and 4,6 each have area 12 but differ in side lengths.

The converse theorem and SSS
Construct a right triangle on the two shorter side lengths, then match all three sides.
AIMS reasoning checkpoint
Only the constructed triangle starts with a known right angle.

Parallel lines and corresponding angles
Keep the same pair of lines and transversal in both directions.
AIMS reasoning checkpoint
The corresponding-angle theorem and its converse justify the two directions.

Squares and equal-angle quadrilaterals
Check whether angle information also forces all four side lengths equal.

A non-square rectangle distinguishes the two directions.

Equality after adding the same quantity
Use addition forward and subtraction in the reverse direction.
AIMS reasoning checkpoint
The operation uses the same added quantity on both sides.

Products of perfect squares
Writing the factors as squares proves one direction. Test non-square factors for the reverse.
AIMS reasoning checkpoint
Original AIMS example: 3 × 12 = 36, although neither factor is square.

Equality of real squares
Do not drop the possibility of opposite real inputs.
AIMS reasoning checkpoint
Equal real squares need not mean equal inputs.

Equality of real cubes
Cubing preserves order on the real number line.

Unequal real inputs cannot have equal cubes.

Divisibility by 24 versus divisibility by 4 and 6
A shared multiple of 4 and 6 need not contain every factor required by 24.
AIMS reasoning checkpoint
Test the reverse separately rather than multiplying the two divisors blindly.

Divisibility by 60 versus divisibility by 5 and 12
The factors 5 and 12 share no prime factor.
AIMS reasoning checkpoint
Justify why both divisibilities here do supply the full product.

Prime squares and exactly three factors
List the factors of a prime square, then justify the middle factor for the reverse.
AIMS reasoning checkpoint
A composite middle factor would introduce more positive divisors.

Distinct prime products and exactly four divisors
Test prime cubes as well as products of different primes.
AIMS reasoning checkpoint
Four divisors do not force two distinct primes.

Common factors of n and n + 3
Here “no factors in common” means no common positive factor greater than 1. Any shared divisor divides their difference.
AIMS reasoning checkpoint
The difference is 3; use this fact for both directions.

Prime-generating claims with square and exponential expressions
Seek a permitted input giving a composite result and show a nontrivial factorisation.
AIMS reasoning checkpoint
The third source expression has an exponent on 4; it is not 4 times n.

Prime claims involving powers of 2
Keep the prime/even input restrictions and check the powers accurately.
AIMS reasoning checkpoint
Do not confuse an exponent with multiplication; supporting small cases are not a proof.

A proposed divisibility shortcut for 8
Separate “multiple of 8” from “multiple of both 2 and 4”.
AIMS reasoning checkpoint
A condition required in the forward direction may fail as a reverse test.

Digit-sum test for divisibility by 3
Express each direction with an if–then sentence.

Keep the same positive integer in both sentences; the starting condition and conclusion exchange places.

Quadrilateral diagonal conditions · Figure 9.2
In the first direction equal sticks are required but do not alone guarantee the category. In the reverse direction equal sticks suffice when a genuine quadrilateral is formed.
AIMS reasoning checkpoint
The second direction alone does not assert that every quadrilateral of the category has equal diagonals.
