Abstract
In this case study, a professor was observed to investigate use of instructional examples when teaching the Intermediate Value Theorem in a calculus course. Video recorded lessons were analyzed with constant compari son to video stimulated recall interviews and field notes. The professor employed multiple instructional examples, which was initiated by students and modified by the professor. The professor asked students to build non existing examples as an informal pro of of the Intermediate Value Theorem and assessment of students’ previous knowledge. Use of incorrect examples on instructional purpose can be an appropriate way for formative assessment as well as a bridge between informal and formal proofs in college mat hematics.
