Preservice and novice teachers’ knowledge on preformal proofs: triangle postulate as an example by Leung, K-CI, Lee, C-Y

“…By considering the example of proving the triangle postulate, this study aimed to explore Hong Kong preservice and novice teachers’ knowledge competencies and their beliefs about preformal and formal proofs. The findings revealed that such teachers are not proficient in using preformal proofs and do not realize that preformal proofs are a useful tool for connecting abstract geometrical concepts with concrete meanings. …”
