Abstract
The advanced geometry of mathematics B2-VWO explicitly contains the subject ‘proving in plane geometry’. This article wants to give an impression of how this could work in a classroom. The class involved this article is a small 6 VWO-B group from the Gregorius College in Utrecht (1999); the school belongs to the group of ten schools which have been working with the experimental material of the profi-team.
