Analyzing the proving activity of a group of three students

We present an analysis and outline an evaluation of the proving activity of a group of three university level students when solving a geometrical problem whose solution required the formulation of a conjecture and its justification within a specific theoretical system.  To carry out the analysis, we used the model published in 2010 by Boero, Douek, Morselli and Pedemonte that centers on the arguments and rational behavior.  Our analysis indicates that the student’s proving activity is close to the one we used as a reference.
