Abstract
The theme of proof in mathematics is often the subject of debate in the educational world. Several different approaches have addressed the problem of learning a proof. In this work we studied the learning of proof in the teaching of mathematics, then we gave analyzes of the difficulties of the pupils to understand its nature and its usefulness. Analyzes of approaches to proof from the teacher's side are provided.
Keywords: Didactic of mathematics, proofs and obstacles in mathematics
