“Ah... I solved it logically”

potential mathematical tasks for mobilizing logi-cal reasoning

Abstract

The objective of this workshop is to promote for the participants the work with potential mathematical tasks for the mobilization of logical reasoning. Logical reasoning is understood as a process of thinking logically and rationally, with the presentation of justifications (Feher, et al, 2023). For this purpose, potential tasks for the mobilization of logical reasoning will be proposed to the participants, which will be solved in groups. Then, such tasks will be discussed collectively, and some logical-mathematical themes will be systematized. The chosen tasks will be based on the perspective of Exploratory Teaching, allowing participants to have contact with this teaching approach. It is expected with this workshop that participants will have the opportunity to think logically and rationally, presenting their intentions, justifications, and ways of producing meanings. In addition, for participants who are (future) teachers, this practice will allow them to reflect on a possible way of working in the classroom. The number of vacancies available for the workshop will be 30 participants.
