Abstract

This working group paper introduces a new initiative to bring together research on proof and proving and research on international comparison. While the past two decades has seen a strong increase in research into proof and proving in mathematics education, much has been conducted in single national and cultural contexts. There are four areas in which international comparisons could shed light on the teaching and learning of proof and proving: curriculum, teaching resources (including textbooks), student achievement, and teaching practices (the latter encompassing teacher knowledge and teacher education).
