Abstract

Aim of this paper is to discuss the role of experiments in mathematics for the teaching and learning of proof. I summarize some research findings from basic research studies and from teaching experiments. The examples comes from teachingexperiments at all school levels on space and geometry by means of classical resources although some of the findings might be expanded to other subject areas and to ICT. They allow to frame the topic within the international literature on conjecture production and proof construction: they support the advantages ofexperimental approaches to the teaching and learning of proof and, at the same time, point at some critical points to be controlled in order to design appropriate teaching interventions.
