  • Description of Presentation:

    We present a framework for types of reasoning that can be used when generating and arguing for a general mathematical claim. The framework was used to analyze reasoning elicited in task-based interviews with eighth-grade students. We illustrate with examples of student reasoning and arguments for the audience to analyze.
