56- The Thrill of the Chase: Deductive Reasoning with Angle Chasing

Thursday, November 29, 2012: 11:00 AM-12:00 PM
Columbus Hall GH (Hyatt)
Lead Speaker:
Michael Todd Edwards


Too often, students’ introduction to proof consists of the study of formal axiomatic systems. In this interactive presentation, we highlight how angle chasing—mathematics puzzles with unknown angles to be solved—may be used in conjunction with GeoGebra dynamic mathematics software to promote deductive thought prior to formal proof.
