Proceedings 7th International Workshop on Theorem proving components for Educational software
This is an incremental workshop report for researchers and educators in theorem proving and mathematics education, focusing on adapting existing methods to educational needs.
The paper reports on the 7th International Workshop on Theorem proving components for Educational software (ThEdu'18), which aimed to connect developers and educators to explore the use of Computer Theorem Proving in educational software, resulting in a workshop with one invited talk and six contributions that led to these proceedings.
The 7th International Workshop on Theorem proving components for Educational software (ThEdu'18) was held in Oxford, United Kingdom, on 18 July 2018. It was associated to the conference, Federated Logic Conference 2018 (FLoC2018). The major aim of the ThEdu workshop series was to link developers interested in adapting Computer Theorem Proving (TP) to the needs of education and to inform mathematicians and mathematics educators about TP's potential for educational software. Topics of interest include: methods of automated deduction applied to checking students' input; methods of automated deduction applied to prove post-conditions for particular problem solutions; combinations of deduction and computation enabling systems to propose next steps; automated provers specific for dynamic geometry systems; proof and proving in mathematics education. ThEdu'18 was a vibrant workshop, with one invited talk and six contributions. It triggered the post-proceedings at hand.
