The Sticky Gum Problem (SGP) is an accessible task to middle grades and college students and focuses on reasoning and proof. Attendees will first evaluate sample arguments for the SGP and then will develop criteria for proof based on their judgments. We will discuss how to implement a similar activity to support secondary students’ proof learning.
