What are Proofs? Oftentimes in math we are asked to provide an answer to a question or questions. Inverse operations can validate our assertions with respect to calculations that are right on target. When we provide evidence to substantiate a claim, that’s proof. Our solutions and our checks are our proofs. Copyright © 2006 Melanie Montgomery
12
What are Strategies? Every problem necessitates a strategy. How are we going to solve this? What steps do we need to take if we want to arrive at a correct or reasonable conclusion? As we are deciding how to attack a problem, we are strategizing. We’re getting our troops in order. We’re recalling other battles, remembering what worked and what didn’t, and thinking about which plans were most efficient and which plans have landed us on long roads to nowhere. A good strategy gets us from A to B (without having to visit C or D). Copyright © 2006 Melanie Montgomery
