*THIS BOOK IS AVAILABLE AS OPEN ACCESS BOOK ON SPRINGERLINK*
One of the most significant tasks facing mathematics educators is to understand the role of mathematical reasoning and proving in mathematics teaching, so that its presence in instruction can be enhanced. This challenge has been given even greater importance by the assignment to proof of a more prominent place in the mathematics curriculum at all levels.
Along with this renewed emphasis, there has been an upsurge in research on the teaching and learning of proof at all grade levels, leading to a re-examination of the role of proof in the curriculum and of its relation to other forms of explanation, illustration and justification.
This book, resulting from the 19th ICMI Study, brings together a variety of viewpoints on issues such as:
- The potential role of reasoning and proof in deepening mathematical understanding in the classroom as it does in mathematical practice.
- The developmental nature of mathematical reasoning and proof in teaching and learning from the earliest grades.
- The development of suitable curriculum materials and teacher education programs to support the teaching of proof and proving.
The book considers proof and proving as complex but foundational in mathematics. Through the systematic examination of recent research this volume offers new ideas aimed at enhancing the place of proof and proving in our classrooms.

About the Author
Gila Hanna is Professor Emeritus at the University of Toronto. She taught graduate courses in mathematics education and in measurement and evaluation; she also led a large number of research projects and supervised several Ph.D. and M.A. theses in mathematics education. Her primary research interests are the role of proof and truth in mathematics and mathematics education, and gender issues in mathematics teaching and learning. She has been Convenor of the International Organisation of Women and Mathematics Education (1988-1992), Vice-Chair of the Canadian Mathematics Education Study Group (1986-1990), and has served on several Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) adjudication committees and on the scientific program committees of a number of international conferences on mathematics education. From 1989 to 2000 she was Co-Editor of the international journal Educational Studies in Mathematics and is now one of its Advisory Editors. From 2000to 2007 she was Co-Founder and Co-Editor of the Canadian Journal of Science, Mathematics and Technology Education. She served as Co-Chair of ICMI Study 19 on proof and proving in mathematics education. She has published extensively on proof and other aspects of mathematics education, and has delivered lectures at several universities as well as at numerous international conferences on mathematics education. In 2003 she was appointed “Fields Institute Fellow”, a lifetime appointment conferred on certain individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the Fields Institute for Research in Mathematical Sciences, its programs, and to the Canadian mathematical community.
After teaching mathematics and science at high school for a few years, Michael de Villiers, received the Science Teacher of the Year award in South Africa in 1983. Later that same year he was appointed as a researcher at the Research Unit for Mathematics Education of the University of Stellenbosch, South Africa. He has been at the University of Durban-Westville since 1991 (Univ. of KwaZulu-Natal since 2004) where he teaches both under-graduate and graduate courses in mathematics & mathematics education. He has published 7 books and over 170 articles peer reviewed articles in mathematics and mathematics education, many of which have been in international journals. Two special points in a triangle have been named after him.
Between 1988-1997, he was editor of Pythagoras, the official research journal of the Association for Mathematics Education of South Africa (AMESA). He is a regular speaker at local and international conferences on mathematics and mathematics education. His main research interests are Geometry, Proof, Applications and Modelling, and the History and Philosophy of Mathematics. Since 1997, he has also been vice-chair of the SA Mathematics Olympiad Committee which is responsible for setting and organizing the nationwide South African Mathematics Olympiad, seeing a growth of participation from less than 10000 to over 60000 currently.

Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
Criteria for exclusion or expiry
The revocation right is not available for contracts
-
for delivery of products, which are not prefabricated and for whose manufacturing an individual selection or stipulation by the consumer is important or which are clearly tailored to the personal requirements of the consumer;
-
for delivery of products, which can spoil quickly or whose use-by date would be exceeded quickly;
-
for delivery of alcoholic drinks, whose price was agreed at the time of concluding the contract, which however can be delivered 30 days after the conclusion of the contract at the earliest and whose current value depends on the fluctuations in the market, on which the entrepreneur has no influence;
