We've just observed a problem that involves teaching and learning about making conjectures, and finding proof relating to a triangle inscribed in a semi-circle. Now we would like to you to reflect on and answer at least one of the following questions in your journal.
Questions to write and reflect about:
- In the content areas you teach, how do you use the concept of proof and develop an appreciation of that concept in your students?
- How can you make reasoning and proof an integral part of mathematics instruction in your classroom? Be specific.
- How can you help your students gain skill in reasoning systematically about a problem and building a case for their answers?
Three ways to write and reflect:
- Use pen and paper.
- Use a word processor.
- Use the form below.
Be sure to save what you have written before you navigate out of the journal section.
Thank you for writing in your journal. Please keep your entries in whatever format you choose -- you will find them useful for reference later.
