The notion of assumptions permeates school mathematics, but instruction tends to highlight this notion only in the advanced grades. In this article, I argue that it is important for even young children to develop a sense of the role of assumptions in proving, and I investigate what it might mean and look like for instruction to promote this goal. Toward this end, I study an episode from third grade that describes the first time that the students in the class were introduced in a deliberate and explicit way to the role of assumptions in proving. The central role of the mathematical task in the episode is identified, and features of mathematical tasks that can generate rich mathematical activity in the intersection of assumptions and proving are discussed. In addition, issues of the role of teachers in fostering productive interactions between students and mathematical tasks that have those features are considered. 相似文献

This research explored young children's early thoughts about natural phenomena and investigated sources of influence toward their knowledge construction. Two Piagetian interviews were conducted with four children. Each child was questioned about two phenomena in particular: (a) the moon and its changing appearance (moon phases) and (b) the formation of shadows. The first Piagetian interview involved a lunar protocol, and the second (given a week later) was a shadow protocol. The external interest of this research study concerns when and why do children develop the commonly held Earth's shadow misconception as the cause of the moon's phases. Findings showed that none of the young children believed that various lunar phases were due to an Earthly shadow cast upon the moon. The shadow interview results revealed that young children had primitive understandings of the shadow concept. In fact, two of the four children indicated that no light source was needed to produce a shadow. 相似文献

This paper describes a long term teaching experiment carried out with students from the 9th–10th grades. Geometrical constructions in the Cabri environment were selected as a specific field of experience, within which the sense of theory may emerge. The idea of construction constitutes the key to accessing the idea of theorem, moving from a generic idea of justification towards the idea of validating within a geometrical system. The study aims at clarifying the role of the Cabri environment in this teaching-learning processes: analysis of protocols shows the possible evolution of a justification into a proof but at the same time indicates that this evolution is not expected to be simple and spontaneous.This revised version was published online in September 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date. 相似文献

The aim of this note is to discuss some issues posed by the emergency of universal interfaces able to decide on the truth of geometric statements. More specifically, we consider a recent GeoGebra module allowing general users to verify standard geometric theorems. Working with this module in the context of Varignon’s theorem, we were driven—by the characteristics of the GeoGebra interface—to perform a quite detailed study of the very diverse fate of attempting to automatically prove this statement, when using two different construction procedures. We highlight the relevance—for the theorem proving output—of expression power of the dynamic geometry interface, and we show that the algorithm deciding about the truth of some—even quite simple—statements can fall into a not true and not false situation, providing a source of confusion for a standard user and an interesting benchmark for geometers interested in discovering new geometric facts. 相似文献

Clinical studies using complex sampling often involve both truncation and censoring, where there are options for the assumptions of independence of censoring and event and for the relationship between censoring and truncation. In this paper, we clarify these choices, show certain equivalences, and provide examples. 相似文献

In this paper we relax the assumptions of a well known algorithm for continuous global optimization, Multilevel Single Linkage
(MLSL). It is shown that the good theoretical properties of MLSL are shared by a slightly different algorithm, Non-monotonic
MLSL (NM MLSL), but under weaker assumptions. The main difference with MLSL is the fact that in NM MLSL some non-monotonic
sequences of sampled points are also considered in order to decide whether to start or not a local search, while MLSL only
considers monotonic decreasing sequences. The modification is inspired by non-monotonic methods for local searches.

For two summers, week‐long residential mathematics programs were held for high school women, with the primary goal of encouraging them to continue their study of mathematics. The activities were designed to rekindle their excitement about mathematics and to support the idea that women should learn advanced mathematics. This paper reports the findings of the data collected to assess the programs. Statistically significant changes were found in student attitudes, confidence level, willingness to continue working on a problem, and perception of the value of group work. Journal entries confirmed the statistical analysis. Follow‐up surveys also indicated that the summer programs changed the way the participants perceived mathematics and mathematics courses. 相似文献
