Proving in the elementary mathematics classroom
Although proving is core to mathematics as a sense-making activity, it currently has a marginal place in elementary classrooms internationally. Blending research with practical perspectives, this book addresses what it would take to elevate the place of proving at elementary school. It uses classroom episodes from two countries to examine different kinds of proving tasks and the proving activity they can generate in the elementary classroom.
