UNDERSTANDING LOGICAL ARGUMENTS

"We are mid-way through a large-scale longitudinal study of students'
developing mathematical reasoning. In this seminar we will take as focus
one question concerned with logical argument that we gave to
high-attaining 13-year-old students. First we will discuss the rationale
for the different parts of the question; second we will present the
statistical data with some illustrative examples of student work; and
finally we will further contextualise the responses by reference to
student interviews and some results from the analysis of the second year
survey where the same question was given to the same students one year
later."
