Teaching Proof Writing

Doug Ensley, Shippensburg University

The MAA Notes Volume 85 (Beyond Lecture: Resources and Pedagogical Techniques for Enhancing the Teaching of Proof-Writing Across the Curriculum) contains a wealth of resources on teaching mathematical proof writing. Our workshop format will blend presentation of select ideas from this volume and sharing of similar ideas from workshop participants. We will pay special attention to in-class, student-centered strategies and techniques, since these are easily adaptable to anyone's course.
