Abstract

Solving proof problems using manipulative objects is challenging for high ability students and difficult for some low ability students. This study analyzes the stages of action proof through counter-example. The stages of action proof in this study used three stages: proving their primitive conjectures, facing counter-examples, and re-examining conjectures and evidence. The type of research used is qualitative with a case study approach. The subjects of this study were two out of 17 elementary school students of SDN Watesnegoro 1 who were purposively selected. Data collection techniques consisted of tasks, documentation, and interviews. The results of the analysis showed that at the stage of proving their primitive conjectures, the conjectures made by low and high level students were still wrong. At the stage of confronting refuting examples, the conjectures and proofs made by low and high level students have improved. At the stage of re-examining conjectures and proofs, the conjecture.
