"Students need a chance to grapple with mathematical situations and discover key ideas for themselves. Experience–intuition–formalization: this is the sequence that leads to proof." This presentation will provide hands-on grappling experiences that will lead to intuition and finally to formalization. We will use Nspire and old-fashioned techniques.
