Knowledge
Students know:
- Requirements for a mathematical proof.
- Techniques for presenting a proof of geometric theorems.
Skills
Students are able to:
- Communicate logical reasoning in a systematic way to present a mathematical proof of geometric theorems.
- Generate a conjecture about geometric relationships that calls for proof.
Understanding
Students understand that:
- Proof is necessary to establish that a conjecture about a relationship in mathematics is always true, and may also provide insight into the mathematics being addressed.
