      This paper deals with research of the teaching of mathematical proof, conducted in five countries at different levels of schooling. The authors agree that proof must be an essential tool for promoting mathematical understanding at all grades. They present results of studies that explore the challenges for teachers in helping students of all grades learn to prove. The paper starts with an analysis of what mathematical proof might involve in the primary grades. Then the results of a study on the development of proving abilities in grades 8 and 9 are presented. Eventually an empirical investigation of college level teaching is discussed. The paper is based on a lot references (27). This issue will be valuable to teachers and graduate students in mathematics who are planning teaching careers. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0993.00023].
