Hi Mark,

They cannot be asked to reproduce the proof, but they do have to have an understanding of the proof.  So they could be presented with a proof with some of the explanations missing and asked to fill in the blanks.  For example, it could say "|<A| = |<B|  Reason: _________"   and the students would have to fill in the reason (e.g. alternate angles) or something like that.   So they have to have seen the proof and understands the logical steps presented.

Kind regards,

Louise
