Oxman, Victor – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
In the article, we prove 18 inequalities involving inradius, a length of one side and one additional element of a given triangle. 14 of these inequalities are the necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of such a triangle. All proofs are based on standard methods of calculus and can serve as a good demonstration of the…

Oxman, Victor; Stupel, Moshe – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2021
The present paper describes a dynamic investigation of polygons obtained by reflecting an arbitrary point located inside or outside a given polygon through the midpoints of its sides. The activity was based on hypothesizing on the shape of the reflection polygon that would be obtained, testing the hypotheses using dynamic software, and finding a…

Oxman, Victor; Stupel, Moshe; Weissman, Shula – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2021
The present paper describes beautiful conservation relations between areas formed by different geometrical shapes and area relations formed by algebraic functions. The conservation properties were investigated by students at an academic college of education using a computerized technological tool and were subsequently accompanied by justified…

Segal, Ruti; Oxman, Victor; Stupel, Moshe – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2021
The study aimed to expose how pre-service teachers perceived the value of an inquiry-based geometrical task with dynamic geometry software for increasing and deepening their understanding of the task itself, and for heightening their mathematical, pedagogical, and technological knowledge in the case of reflection and transformation. Twenty-seven…

Oxman, Victor; Stupel, Moshe – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2018
A geometrical task is presented with multiple solutions using different methods, in order to show the connection between various branches of mathematics and to highlight the importance of providing the students with an extensive 'mathematical toolbox'. Investigation of the property that appears in the task was carried out using a computerized tool.
