The Study will consider the role of proof and proving in mathematics education, in part as a precursor for disciplinary proof (in its various forms) as used by mathematicians but mainly in terms of developmental proof, which grows in sophistication as the learner matures towards coherent conceptions. A detailed Discussion Document is available from the above website. The two co-chairs for the Study are Gila Hanna (ghanna@oise.utoronto.ca) and Michael de Villiers (profmd@mweb.co.za). The deadline for contributions is August 31, 2008. Notification of acceptance: November 15, 2008.
