    Abstract
    This curriculum project provides secondary mathematics teachers with lessons that incorporate proofs to deepen student understanding of mathematical concepts through mathematical reasoning and discourse. The use of proofs in secondary math is essential to prepare students for college mathematics expectations. Mathematical proofs are difficult for students because it is not something that they often see throughout their secondary education. The Constructivist Learning Theory states that students learn by building on prior knowledge to create new understanding, thus each lesson in this curriculum project begins with a review section to connect prior learning to new concepts. Likewise, the use of the Growth Mindset and grit, also used in the curriculum, can encourage students to believe in their mathematical abilities. Encouraging students to attempt questions or proofs without providing immediate support can send a message that they are capable of meeting high expectations. Within the curriculum project there are four lessons: Introduction to Proofs; Quadratic Formula; Properties of Paralellograms; and Remainder Theorem. The last three lessons align with the curriculum for Algebra 1, Geometry, and Algebra 2 respectively. The first lesson was designed to introduce proofs before they are applied in any of these courses.

    The export option will allow you to export the current search results of the entered query to a file. Different formats are available for download. To export the items, click on the button corresponding with the preferred download format.

    By default, clicking on the export buttons will result in a download of the allowed maximum amount of items.

    To select a subset of the search results, click "Selective Export" button and make a selection of the items you want to export. The amount of items that can be exported at once is similarly restricted as the full export.

    After making a selection, click one of the export format buttons. The amount of items that will be exported is indicated in the bubble next to export format.
