Supporting Students' Pathways through the Cycle of Inquiry and Justification
Presented by Michelle Cirillo and Jenifer Hummer

After spending three years observing this cycle in classrooms, we identified the transition from conjecturing to proving as a key site for conceptual obstacles. These obstacles and strategies for overcoming them are explored.
