Textbook Guided Example

Example 1

Source page 1 · REVERSE

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.

Textbook Guided Example

Example 2

Source page 2 · REVERSE

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.

Textbook Guided Example

Example 3

Source page 2 · REASON

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.

Textbook Guided Example

Example 4

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.

Textbook Guided Example

Example 5

Source page 4 · PROVE

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.

Exercise Practice

Exercise Set 9.1 · Q2

Source page 5 · COMPARE

Squares and equal-angle quadrilaterals

Check whether angle information also forces all four side lengths equal.

AIMS reasoning checkpoint

A non-square rectangle distinguishes the two directions.

Exercise Practice

Source page 6 · APPLY

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.

Exercise Practice

Exercise Set 9.1 · Q5

Source page 6 · APPLY

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.

Exercise Practice

Exercise Set 9.1 · Q6

Equality of real squares

Do not drop the possibility of opposite real inputs.

AIMS reasoning checkpoint

Equal real squares need not mean equal inputs.

Exercise Practice

Equality of real cubes

Cubing preserves order on the real number line.

AIMS reasoning checkpoint

Unequal real inputs cannot have equal cubes.

Exercise Practice

Exercise Set 9.1 · Q8

Source page 6 · TEST

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.

Exercise Practice

Exercise Set 9.1 · Q9

Source page 6 · APPLY

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.

Exercise Practice

Exercise Set 9.1 · Q10

Source page 6 · REASON

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.

Exercise Practice

Exercise Set 9.1 · Q11

Source page 6 · MASTER

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.

Exercise Practice

Exercise Set 9.1 · Q12

Source page 6 · APPLY

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.

Exercise Practice

Exercise Set 9.1 · Q13

Source page 6 · TEST

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.

Exercise Practice

Exercise Set 9.1 · Q14

Source page 6 · TEST

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.

Exercise Practice

Exercise Set 9.1 · Q15

Source page 6 · MASTER

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.

Exercise Practice

Exercise Set 9.1 · Q16

Source page 6 · REVERSE

Digit-sum test for divisibility by 3

Express each direction with an if–then sentence.

AIMS reasoning checkpoint

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

Exercise Practice

Exercise Set 9.1 · Q17

Source page 7 · MASTER

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.
