Abstract:

In this paper, a way of teaching high-school mathematics using a semiformal representation called structured derivations is presented. Using structured derivations every step of the derived solution to an exercise in presented with facts justifying the step. With this presentation solutions to mathematical problems resemble highly proving of a mathematical problem or a theorem. In teaching standard learning material is used, but it is presented to the pupils also in a hypertext format browsable on the Internet.
