377- The Many Roles of Proof in High School Mathematics

Friday, April 19, 2013: 9:30 AM-10:30 AM
203 (Convention Center)
Lead Speaker:
Pat Herbst


Building on research with focus groups of experienced teachers considering the functions that proof plays in mathematics, I discuss how teachers can incorporate proving in high school mathematics classrooms. Aided by research on cognition and classroom processes, I elaborate on how a teacher can navigate dilemmas and decisions that might ensue.
