Proof as Explanation in Geometry.
Hanna, Gila
Focus on Learning Problems in Mathematics, v20 n2-3 p4-13 Spr-Sum 1998
Discusses the issue of proof in school geometry and views dynamic software as an excellent tool for exploration in geometry classes, mathematical practice, and for helping students see that a theorem is true. Argues that justification without proof would be untrue to the theory and practice of mathematics. Contains 32 references. (ASK)
