Abstract
- Discusses students' use of visual considerations in doing geometrical proofs. Studies ninth-grade students (n=17) in an academically-selective high school in Jerusalem. Concludes that only three out of 16 students who turned in their papers chose symmetry considerations when working on a proof. Contains 16 references. (ASK)
