36- Prove It: Introducing Formal Logic Improves Geometry Students' Proof Technique

Thursday, November 20, 2014: 9:30 AM-10:30 AM
332 AD (George R. Brown Convention Center)
Lead Speaker:
William Rose


The standard unit on logic in the national geometry curriculum does very little to prepare students for the reasoning that they will employ in the rest of the course. Supplementing this with an introduction to "advanced logic" can greatly enhance students' reasoning skills and their ability to prove challenging theorems independently.
