Abstract | We describe an attempt by a former mathematics teacher to read an undergraduate mathematics proof aided by discussions with a mathematician using the language of mathematical problem solving. The literature on successful approaches to reading mathematics is scarce at the secondary and undergraduate levels. Shepherd, Selden and Selden (2012) offered three possible reasons why undergraduate students find it difficult to read passages from a mathematics textbook. From the ultimately fruitful attempt by the teacher, we postulate how a problem solving approach can successfully negotiate these three difficulties.
