We present five strategies that mathematics majors can use to improve their proof comprehension. We argue these strategies are effective by presenting qualitative excerpts illustrating the ways in which the employment of these strategies helped four undergraduate students understand the proofs they were reading. Furthermore, we present results of…

The PRODIGY/EBL system [Minton88] was one of the first works to directly attack the problem of strategy utility. The problem of finding effective strategies was reduced to the problem of finding effective rules. However, this paper illustrates limitations of the approach. There are two basic difficulties. The first arises from the fact that the…
