Combinatorics and Reasoning: Representing, Justifying and Building Isomorphisms (Mathematics Education Library)

Combinatorics and Reasoning: Representing, Justifying and Building Isomorphisms is based on the accomplishments of a cohort group of learners from first grade through high school and beyond, concentrating on their work on a set of combinatorics tasks. By studying these students, the editors gain insight into the foundations of proof building how reasoning that takes the form of proof evolves with young children and discusses the conditions for supporting student reasoning.
