TSG 16. Reasoning, argumentation and proof in mathematics education - ICME-14

July 12-19, 2020 Shanghai, China
Chair: Viviane Durand-Guerrier (Montpellier University, France)
Co-Chair: Samuele Antonini (University of Pavia, Italy)

There is international recognition of the importance of reasoning and proof in students’ learning of mathematics at all levels of education (elementary, secondary, university) and in all tracks (general, vocational). Indeed, reasoning, argumentation and proof are at the very heart of mathematical activity, playing a crucial role in learning processes. There is also international research-based evidences showing that many students face difficulties with reasoning about mathematical ideas and constructing or understanding mathematical arguments. Particularly, when these arguments meet the standard of proof, and that teachers often lack of adequate resources for helping their students to develop skills in reasoning, argumentation and proof. Although the existing body of research offers important insights into this area, there are still many open questions for which theoretical and empirically based responses are needed.

We invite submissions of theoretical or empirical research reports on any topic related to reasoning, argumentation and proof in mathematics education.

As demonstrações matemáticas presentificadas nos livros didáticos do ensino médio : um foco nos capítulos de geometria

Mathematical proofs presented in Mathematics high school textbooks: a focus on the geometry chapters

Lucas Carato Mazzi PhD These – Universidade Estadual de Campinas

As políticas públicas acerca dos livros didáticos no Brasil datam do final da década de 1920 e têm sido modificadas ao longo dos anos até chegar em seu formato atual, o Programa Nacional do Livro Didático (PNLD). Esta foi uma proposta criada em 1984 pelo Governo Federal e tem como objetivo principal a avaliação e a distribuição gratuita de livros didáticos de todos os segmentos e níveis escolares para os alunos das escolas públicas brasileiras. […]
Esta pesquisa, em particular, tem por objetivo principal analisar de que modo as demonstrações e as provas matemáticas estão presentificadas nos capítulos de Geometria dos livros didáticos de Matemática do Ensino Médio aprovados pelo PNLD – 2018. Para alcançar esse objetivo, realizou-se uma pesquisa qualitativa, de modo a investigar os capítulos de interesse, em busca de possíveis momentos voltados às demonstrações e às provas. Como referencial teórico, foram utilizadas as ideias de raciocínio apresentadas por Reid e Knipping. Os autores discutem a presença de quatro diferentes tipos de raciocínio no ensino da Matemática: dedutivo, indutivo, abdutivo e por analogia.

Habermas’ elaboration on rationality and mathematics education

Boero P., Morselli F., Guala E, Robotti E
Genoa - April, 9-10-11, 2019 - International workshop

The aim of the workshop will be to compare, discuss and (hopefully) collaboratively develop different ways of adapting Habermas’ elaboration on rationality to specific needs in the field of mathematics education:

  • to support the analysis of the content to be taught, particularly in teacher education;
  • to provide components of frameworks for teaching projects;
  • to analyze classroom implementation of such projects (on the side of the teacher, and on the side of students);
  • to analyze the conditions under which argumentation (a crucial component of rational discursive practices) may be developed in the school context;
  • to look at mathematics as a culturally situated rational discursive practice, in comparison with other practices.
