### AI overview

A mathematics teacher describes using puzzles and student-led discovery to introduce graph theory in high-school and middle-school lectures. The article presents the Seven Bridges of Königsberg problem as a central example and discusses mathematics as a non-linear process of questions, conjectures, and proof.

### Source excerpt

Community Service Mathematics is supposed to be a process of discovery. Definitions, propositions, and methods of proof don't come from nowhere, although after the fact (when presented in a textbook) they often seem to. As opposed to a textbook, real maths is highly non-linear. It took mathematicians quite a lot of fuss to come up with the quadratic formula, and even simple geometric conjectures were for the longest time the subject of hot debate.
