Page: 1622
An “Introduction to Proof” or “Transition to Proof” course is widely offered as an essentialpart of the undergraduate mathematics curriculum at most post-secondary institutions. Thisposter reports on the iterative development of one such course that used an Inquiry-basedapproach to the teaching and learning of mathematical proving and proof. Moreover, thechanging beliefs of students, about the nature of mathematics and about doing mathematics, inthis course, are discussed.Keywords:
