Abstract | The equivalence between a statement and its contrapositive is so obvious for an expert that, usually, he does not need any explanation. In this paper, we shall examine the argumentations which students produce in order to justify a statement that, in their opinion, is equivalent to a given statement. We shall observe that the most common argumentations come out from the effort to adjust the proof of the first statement to the second one. Analysing these argumentations, it will emerge that for the students the (false) equivalence between a statement and its inverse is intuitive and the (true) equivalence between a statement and its contrapositive is not intuitive.
