Proof! It is the heart of mathematics as individuals explore, make conjectures, and try to convince themselves and others about the truth or falsity of their conjecture. In fact, proving is one of the main aspects of mathematical behavior and “most clearly distinguishes mathematical behavior from scientific behavior in other disciplines” (Dreyfus et al. 1990, 126). By its nature, proof should promote understanding and thus should be an important part of the curriculum (Hanna 1995). Yet students and teachers often find the study of proof difficult, and a debate within mathematics education is currently underway about the extent to which formal proof should play a role in geometry, the content domain in which reasoning is typically studied at an intensive level (Battista and Clements 1995).
