In this project a team of teachers and researchers from post-16 schools, the Southampton Education School and the School of Mathematics, explored curriculum materials to find the topic that would be most helped with a supporting booklet. The most useful topic was \u2018proof\u2019. This booklet is aimed at students interested in learning more about proof and different types of proof. In this booklet, we go through what is a proof, how to construct a proof, and different types\/methods of proof.
