While many contemporary mathematics curricula recognize the importance of teaching reasoning and proof, in Greece these concepts are introduced at the secondary education level. In this study, we will attempt to investigate a group of 19 grade 6 elementary school students' ability to reason logically...
This paper reports a study of students' logical reasoning on rolling. Student learning experiences consist of both physical actions and logico-mathematical reasoning, and this study examined the relations between the above two in the context of rolling.
