E-Books →We Reason & We Prove for ALL Mathematics Building Students' Critical Thinking, Grades 6-12

How do teachers and students benefit from engaging in reasoning-and-proving? What strategies can teachers use to support students' capacity to reason-and-prove? What does reasoning-and-proving instruction look like?
We Reason & We Prove for ALL Mathematics helps mathematics teachers in grades 6-12 engage in the critical practice of reasoning-and-proving and support the development of reasoning-and-proving in their students. The phrase "reasoning-and-proving" describes the processes of identifying patterns, making conjectures, and providing arguments that may or may not qualify as proofs - processes that reflect the work of mathematicians. Going beyond the idea of "formal proof" traditionally relegated only to geometry, this book transcends all mathematical content areas with a variety of activities for teachers to learn more about reasoning-and-proving
