Understanding the Color System
- Red: Need more work understanding this step
- Yellow: Partial understanding, getting there
- Green: Good understanding of this step
Answering Questions
Each proof line has three types of questions: "What" (describe the step), "Why" (justify the step), and "Link" (connect it to other steps).
Best Practices
1. Take Your Time: Understanding is more important than speed.
2. Use Your Own Words: Don't just copy from the proof.
3. Ask for Hints: When truly stuck, hints can help guide your learning.
4. Review Red Steps: Focus on the steps you find most difficult.
