Mathematical proof: from mathematics to school mathematics. [PDF]
Philos Trans A Math Phys Eng Sci, 2019 Proof plays a central role in developing, establishing and communicating mathematical knowledge. Nevertheless, it is not such a central element in school mathematics. This article discusses some issues involving mathematical proof in school, intending to characterize the understanding of mathematical proof in school, its function and the meaning and ...

Mathematical Method and Proof [PDF]
Synthese, 2006 On a traditional view, the primary role of a mathematical proof is to warrant the truth of the resulting theorem. This view fails to explain why it is very often the case that a new proof of a theorem is deemed important. Three case studies from elementary arithmetic show, informally, that there are many criteria by which ordinary proofs are valued.

Incorrect theorems and proofs: An analysis of pre-service mathematics teachers' proof evaluation skills [PDF]
Journal of Pedagogical Research, 2023 Proof facilitates conceptual and meaningful learning in mathematics education rather than rote memorization. In this study, incorrect theorems and proofs are used to assess secondary school pre-service mathematics teachers’ proof assessing skills.
