Proving in Mathematics Education – On the Proof using ATP
The aim of the mathematics education is the acquisition of “knowledge/skill of the mathematics” and “the mathematical thinking”. Proving is a chain of the logic in mathematics and is “mathematical thinking” itself. So, proving is the domain that is important from a point of view that can evaluate the acquisition of enough “mathematical thinking”. There is a variety of sense of values in the present situation of the proof using the ATP (Automated theorem proving). We should establish a clear vision as mathematics education in this situation. That is, in mathematics education, we should build sense of values for proof using the ATP newly. To that end, we fix contents of the mathematics, and it is necessary to prove them by using ATP. We would like to assume the aim the theorems of Euclid's Elements. Because the contents are the basics of the mathematical thinking. The proving is an important aim in the mathematics education, it is necessary to clarify new value by using the ATP as mathematics education.
