This document contains examples of proofs, one algebraic, one geometric and one number related one.
They are NOT necessarily exemplars. In fact the third one (C) in particular leaves a lot to be desired. (so please no comments criticising my maths :) )
I use these as discussion material to get students to start to think about what mathematicians mean by proof and what a good one might look like.
From the discussions we pull out success criteria for a good proof.
I'd be interested to know how others might use this resource so please share your experiences.
