Peer reviewedMiller, Leslie H.; Waits, Bert K. – Mathematics Teacher, 1974
Beginning with a construction problem admitting a classical solution, the authors provide other solutions based on algorithmic estimation and transformational geometry. The latter methods are generalized to suggest solutions to other problems; hints to these solutions are provided. Teacher-student discussion could lead in many directions. (SD)

Peer reviewedHarkin, J. B. – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 1975
Four geoboard activities for elementary school students are described. (SD)

Peer reviewedJamski, William D. – Mathematics Teacher, 1978
A classroom activity is described where students divided circular regions into equal sections and reassembled them to determine the formula for the area of a circle. Using an odd number of sections (Instead of an even number) changes the shape of the reassembled pieces but still gives rise to the same formula. (MN)

Peer reviewedKrause, Eugene F. – Mathematics Teacher, 1973
By changing the Euclidean metric definition, a new geometry is developed. Properties of figures are analyzed and theorems are proven in this new system. (DT)
Descriptors: College Mathematics, Curriculum, Experiential Learning, Geometry
Peer reviewedWalker, Richard – Mathematics in School, 1975
Many geometric principles can be discovered or illustrated using toothpicks in conjunction with two longer straightedges. (SD)
