Abstract

Proof is considered to be central to the discipline of mathematics and the practice of mathematicians. Yet its role in secondary school mathematics has traditionally been peripheral at best; the only substantial treatment of proof is limited to geometry. According to Wu (1996, p. 228), however, the scarcity of proof outside of geometry is a misrepresentation of the nature of proof in mathematics.
