| Title of Talk | Classroom Capsule: Teaching Challenge-Response Arguments |
| Abstract | The forward-backward method is a fundamental proof technique for helping students understand how to construct proofs. I will describe my latest variation in the application of this technique for addressing challenge-response arguments in a Real Analysis class. Using this variation my lower ability students have had greater success. |
