Abstract
The purpose of this study is to identify and empirically corroborate a fundamental situation (Brousseau, 1997) for constructing “proof by contradiction.” We identified the four elements of a fundamental situation: i) obtaining strong conviction; ii) negating the given proposition naturally without being aware of the assumption; iii) finding a contradiction easily; and iv) noticing the origin of the contradiction. Based on this study, a new research question arises: How can students construct “proof by contradiction” using teacher support?
