Developmental Aspects of Children's Ability to Understand Mathematical Proof
Lester, Frank K.
Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 6, 1, 14-25, Jan 75
The ability of students in grades 1-12 to generate proofs of theorems in an unfamiliar, one axiom, abstract system was investigated. There were no significant differences in performance of two levels of secondary students; fourth- through sixth-grade students were also able to develop proofs, but needed more time. (SD)
