How to teach mathematical proof
The teaching skills of mathematical proof are as follows:

1. To decompose a complex problem into small steps, mathematical proof often involves complex logic and concepts. Therefore, it is very necessary to decompose the complicated proof process into small steps and guide students to understand them one by one. This can not only reduce the difficulty of understanding, but also help students better master the logic and reasoning process of proof.

2. Emphasize the logic and rigor of proof, and the correctness of mathematical proof depends on its logic and rigor. Therefore, teachers should emphasize this point repeatedly in the teaching process and guide students to understand the basis of each step of reasoning. At the same time, we should pay attention to correcting students' possible logical mistakes in the process of proof and help them develop correct thinking habits.

3. Encourage students to discover and prove theorems by themselves, and mathematics proof teaching should encourage students to discover and prove theorems by themselves. This method of independent inquiry can stimulate students' interest and initiative in learning and cultivate students' mathematical thinking and innovation ability. Teachers can provide some interesting mathematical problems or examples for students to discover and prove theorems through observation, analysis and reasoning.

4. Teach effective proof methods. Mathematical proof teaching should teach students some effective proof methods, such as reduction to absurdity, induction and direct proof. These methods can help students prove more efficiently and improve their problem-solving ability and thinking level.

5, through a large number of examples and exercises to consolidate students' proof skills, mathematical proof needs repeated practice to master skillfully. Therefore, teachers should provide a large number of examples and exercises, so that students have the opportunity to practice and consolidate their proof skills repeatedly. At the same time, teachers can also organize some group discussions or interactive sessions so that students can communicate and learn from each other.

6. Cultivate students' critical thinking. The teaching of mathematical proof should focus on cultivating students' critical thinking. This means that students should be able to evaluate the proof process and judge its correctness and rationality. At the same time, teachers can also guide students to reflect on their own proof process and find their own mistakes and shortcomings, so as to continuously improve their mathematical thinking level.

1, the concept of mathematical proof, mathematical proof is a thinking process to judge the authenticity of a proposition according to some propositions whose authenticity has been determined. It consists of three elements: topic, argument and argumentation method. Mathematical proof, synthesis, analysis and mathematical induction.

2. Mathematical proof skills, which decompose complex problems into small steps, emphasize the logic and rigor of proof, encourage students to discover and prove theorems themselves, teach effective proof methods, consolidate students' proof skills through a large number of examples and exercises, and cultivate students' critical thinking.
