When I teach my 9th grade math students about the converse I tell them that it's one of the most important concepts they will learn in my class. I'll share this lesson with you, for free!
A statement of the form "If ---- then ----." is called an implication. If you swap it around? *That's* the converse.
Statement: "If it rained, then the sidewalk will be wet."
Converse statement: "If the sidewalk is wet, then it rained."
But why does it matter?
