491- Examining Our Practice: What We Learned about Teaching Geometry Proof

Friday, April 27, 2012: 12:30 PM-1:30 PM
122 A (Convention Center)
Lead Speaker:
Michelle Cirillo
Co-speakers:
Sam Walters and Kathleen Wright


Teachers often puzzle over how best to introduce proof and induct their students into proving. The speakers, who collaborated to study how geometric proof is taught, will discuss what they learned and how their approach to proof has evolved since then. They will share specific tools for teaching proof.
