Pipinos, Savas – Mathematics Teaching, 2010
This article describes one classroom activity in which the author simulates the Newtonian gravity, and employs the Euclidean Geometry with the use of new technologies (NT). The prerequisites for this activity were some knowledge of the formulae for a particle free fall in Physics and most certainly, a good understanding of the notion of similarity…

Lopez-Real, Francis – Mathematics Teaching, 2002
This article "opens up" the study of the relationship between quadrilaterals and circles to two sets of quadrilaterals--those that can be drawn either inside (cyclic) or outside (tangential) a circle (or both). Of course, "all" triangles are both cyclic and tangential. Or, to use the traditional Euclidean language for triangles, a unique…
