Allen, Charles E. – Mathematics Teacher, 1972
Worksheets on constructing the circumcenter, the centroid, the orthocenter, the incenter, and the Nine-Point Circle in a triangle are provided for duplication. (DT)

Miller, 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)

Jamski, 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)

Krause, 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)
