  • From conjecturing to justification and proof_v5.pdf (1004.4 kB)

  • Providing students with rich tasks that are fertile ground for making conjectures and developing mathematical arguments is essential in getting them to unpack their mathematical ideas and become ready for proof. We will share tasks that can be used to create a classroom culture where proof is a means to understand geometry ideas.
