Alison G. Lynch; Elise Lockwood; Amy B. Ellis – Research in Mathematics Education, 2024
In this paper, we explore the role that examples play as mathematicians formulate conjectures, and we describe and exemplify one particular example-related activity that we observed in interviews with thirteen mathematicians. During our interviews, mathematicians productively used examples as they formulated conjectures, particularly by creating…
