Abstract

This research aimed to study about providing a proof and providing non-proof argument. The study began by explaining some ways of verification in math accompanied by troubles faced by students in proof process. Then, it continued by explaining the differences between providing a proof and providing non-proof argument by giving example cases related to verification. Providing a proof using math induction way and providing non-proof argument using rational thinking. This research is a literature study on providing a proof and providing non-proof arguments that are reviewed based on theories and research relevant to this research. Result of the study show that, providing a proof is needed for proving or confirming a form of math statements which are appropriate for university students hence their cognitive development had been in abstract stage. Whereas, providing non-proof argument inclined explains history in a form of particular statement. Thus, it considered as important in learning math at school about providing a proof and providing non-proof argument need to be customized based on the level of students’ cognitive development.
