Stephenson, Paul – Mathematics Teaching, 2012
The first word of this item is "imagine". This instruction has the potential to signal a journey through a world of geometry that might leave you spellbound. On the other hand, it could be the start of a roller-coaster ride through three dimensions that will tax both your imagination, and your powers of visualisation. It is likely that you will…

Griffiths, Martin – Mathematics Teaching, 2011
Although not all children may enjoy eating them, it is fairly safe to assume that most students will at least know what ring doughnuts are, and what they look like. Familiarity with these intriguingly-shaped items of patisserie means that students will not immediately be daunted at the thought of doing some mathematics with the relatively…

Bell, A. W. – Mathematics Teaching, 1972
The third in a series of four articles, this is concerned with establishing the main properties of the general linear transformation of the plane, equations of lines, area, and change of axes. For earlier articles, see MT number 57, Winter 1971, pp. 14-19 and MT number 58, Spring 1972, pp. 49-55. (DT)

Bell, A. W. – Mathematics Teaching, 1971
The first of three articles showing how inductively-obtained results in transformation geometry may be organized into a deductive system. This article discusses two approaches to enlargement (dilatation), one using coordinates and the other using synthetic methods. (MM)

Bryant, V. W.; Austin, A. K. – Mathematics Teaching, 1971
Five solutions to the problems of constructing an equilateral triangle within any triangle and having the vertices on the sides of the given triangle are presented and a generalization is made. (CT)

Catranides, Peter – Mathematics Teaching, 1978
Curve-stitching the parabola is used as a means of confirming many of the parabola's mathematical properties and to construct some visually stimulating designs. (MP)
