Induction and the Australian Curriculum
The Tower of Hanoi problem contains deep, foundation mathematical
truths. It requires, for example, knowledge (explicit or implicit) of the basic
if not fundamental properties of odd and even numbers and (mathematical)
inductive logic.
The broad notion of ‘reasoning’ emerges as a proficiency strand of the
“Mathematical Proficiency” in the Australian F–10 Mathematics curriculum
(Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority, n.d., F–10
Curriculum: Mathematics, Content structure), and the concept of mathematical
induction as a formal topic first suddenly surfaces (or “is introduced”) in the
senior secondary subject Specialist Mathematics in the Australian Curriculum
(Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority, 2015, Specialist
Mathematics, Structure of Specialist Mathematics, Overview, and Rationale,
Curriculum, Unit 2). The related curriculum outcome is described as:
“understand the nature of inductive proof including the ‘initial statement’ and
‘inductive step’” (Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority,
2015, ACMSM064).
