Learning to prove: from examples to general statements
Buma Abramovitz, Miryam Berezina, Abraham Berman · International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology · 2014
In this paper we describe a method for teaching students to prove some mathematical statements independently, by using specially designed auxiliary assignments. The assignments are designed as homework problems and can be adapted for online learning. We illustrate our method using examples from calculus and differential equations.
