Freeburn, Rodney – Mathematics Teaching, 1977
The author offers a new puzzle requiring that the mixed set containing all the members of the set of trihexagons and the set of tetrahexagons be fitted inside a star-shaped outline. (MN)

Banks, Bertram – Mathematics Teaching, 1976
Activities growing out of a study of Euler's formula are described. (SD)
Descriptors: Geometric Concepts, Geometry, Induction, Instruction
Fielker, David S. – Mathematics Teaching, 1981
The process of investigating some of the properties of diagonals and other geometric concepts with a group of 11-year-old girls is presented. Possible changes that could have been made in the lesson are discussed, and examples of individual student work are provided. (MP)

Fielker, David S. – Mathematics Teaching, 1981
A new approach to classifying quadrilaterals is presented that tries to classify all possible combinations of shapes and angles by removing the traditional Euclidean viewpoints. The document concludes with a brief look at other types of polygons. (MP)

Trivett, John V. – Mathematics Teaching, 1975
Activities involving the drawing of kites and figures related to kites are described. (SD)
Descriptors: Experiential Learning, Geometric Concepts, Geometry, Instruction
Kuper, Marie; Walter, Marion – Mathematics Teaching, 1976
Relationships between the linear dimensions, surface area, and volume of parallelepipeds are examined. (SD)
