Material Detail

The Mathematical Reasoning and Proving for Secondary Teachers course aims to enhance preservice secondary teachers' (PSTs') knowledge and disposition for integrating reasoning and proof into classroom practices. Through content, methods, and clinical practice, PSTs are able to learn about the importance of the logical aspect of proof and apply it to pedagogical implications. The four aspects of proof utilized for the course are (1) quantification and the role of examples in proving, (2) conditional statements, (3) direct proof and argument evaluation and (4) indirect reasoning. The modules of the course are sectioned by these aspects. Information and materials for each module can be found either at the top of the page or within the diagram of the course structure.
