The Greek astronomers theorised the workings of…

As students there is often a lot of pressure to pass, whether it be a quiz, test or the overall course. Because of this, we often only focus on doing what we have to in order to pass as opposed to actually taking the time out to fully understand what we have been taught. This leads to partial explanations and a lot of question marks as we progress, because the basics that should be second nature to us at this point, have not been fully comprehended, leading to “gaps” in their learning. I…

This is a test from my pre-calculus class. This is a test on trigonometry where we were able to work with a partner to find the answers. This was helpful because I was able to work with someone that I usually do not. This helped me learn how to work with someone that I do not know that well to solve a problem. I will need to work with people I do not know that well while in college, and in my future career, so it is good to be able to start now and get used to it. High school has been very…

Proof is incorporated in the VCE Mathematics Study Design 2016-2018 and VCE Mathematics textbooks. Proof is integrated in many areas of study such as arithmetic and number, geometry measurement and trigonometry, algebra and structure, and discrete mathematics (Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority [VCAA], 2016). This supports the idea that one of the central goals of school mathematics, notably at the upper secondary level, is the development of proof concepts (Coe & Ruthven, 1994).…
