From Conjecture to Proof
Introducing and Developing Ideas About Proof
Ken Milton & Howard Reeves
This book will help you and your students to explore and experience mathematical proof, using activities which have been extensively workshopped with teachers. The authors demonstrate that school mathematics is rich in opportunities for students to explore patterns, to seek and describe generalisations, and to make and prove conjectures. The book first provides a rationale for addressing the idea of proof in the classroom, consideration of some properties of whole numbers, and the development of skills for naming and talking about numbers in a general way. Subsequent chapters provide examples for teachers of what constitutes a proof, followed by a collection of worked examples for use with students (all accompanied by blackline masters).
