Lessons Learned using FullProof, a Digital Proof Platform, in a Geometry for Teachers Course
Page: 163
Proof-writing is a core practice of mathematicians and a crucial skill every future teacher and mathematics major needs to acquire. A proof-based geometry course is a fruitful ground for developing proof-writing skills. Despite recent pedagogical and technological advances, proof remains challenging to learn and teach. We conducted a pilot study to explore potential advantages of an innovative digital proof platform, FullProof, which aims to advance students’ proof-writing skills in Euclidean Geometry. We integrated FullProof in three Geometry for Teachers (GeT) courses at three universities. We report on the findings pertaining to students’ interactions with FullProof, their perceptions of the usefulness of this tool to their proof-writing skills, and the lessons learned from the FullProof integration from an instructor perspective.
