ABSTRACT
This study investigated the effect of situated learning environment in enhancing mathematical
reasoning and proof among tenth grade students. To achieve the aim of the study, a pre-post-test of mathematical reasoning and proof was used, and its validity and reliability were verified.
The sample of the study consisted of 50 female students who were distributed equally into two
groups; the experimental who were taught the circle unit in geometry by situated learning
environment, and the control group who were taught by the traditional method. The results
indicate a significant improvement in the students’ ability of reasoning and proof in favor of the
experimental group. Moreover, a diversity of mathematical reasoning and proof strategies were
used by the experimental group.
