Outline of Final Research Achievements

In recent years, the power of logical thinking has received much attention. In the case of proof questions, things (i.e., assumptions or conditions) that one already knows about a given problem lead to conclusions that one wants to know, and the assumptions, conditions, and conclusions are already given. Therefore, this is believed to be easier for nurturing logical thinking when compared with other methods.it was considered possible to learn proofs through utilizing the “card selection method” proposed by Yokoyama et al. and thinking of the structure from the part. Since, in the card selection method, it is essential to examine the cards prepared beforehand, the structure of the proof needs to be clear and it is vital to build a system. In this study, we conducted an analysis of the structure of the proof question regarding the congruence of triangles. On the basis of this analysis, we constructed a solutions-support system that utilized the card selection method.
