Abstract

While formal mathematical reasoning is the cornerstone of computer science, undergraduates often fail to appreciate the value of mathematical proof in their studies. To alleviate this problem, we propose a novel pedagogy uniting logical reasoning with proofs of program correctness along with a proof assistant, ORC2A, that helps students author proofs in this domain. One of the defining features of ORC2A is that it has a blocks-based surface language of proof to reduce friction when adopting the tool in the classroom. We report on the current progress on ORC2A, in particular, its blocks-based interface, current design consideration, and our plans for evaluating the system.
