“…Suggestions for ways to improve the teaching of proof tend to reflect one or other of these routes. Some suggest a systematic approach based on a solid grounding in logic and its associated linguistic expressions (Epp, 1998(Epp, , 2003Selden & Selden, 1999), or on a presentation or sequence of problems that can lead students to more easily see the structure of certain proof types (Harel, 2002;Leron, 1985). With a similar focus on structure, empirical studies have specified skills students need to produce simple proofs in a given area (Gholamazad, Lijedahl, & Zazkis, 2003;Weber, 2006), and have investigated technological environments that can focus students' attention on the axiomatic development of a mathematical theory (Cerulli & Mariotti, 2003).…”
