Peer reviewedJones, Douglas L.; Shaw, Kenneth L. – Mathematics Teacher, 1988
The article discusses the classic problem: "Given an equilateral triangle and a point P inside the triangle, what is the sum of the distances from P to the three sides?" The problem is used to illustrate the generative nature of problem-posing using the heuristic "What happens if...?" (PK)

Coxford, Arthur F., Jr. – 1991
The 1989 document, "Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics" provides a vision and a framework for revising and strengthening the K-12 mathematics curriculum in North American schools and for evaluating both the mathematics curriculum and students' progress. When completed, it is expected that the Addenda Series will…

Peer reviewedGau, Y. David; Tartre, Lindsay A. – Mathematics Teacher, 1994
Explores areas of polygons by comparing polygon area to the area of the associated midpoint polygon, formed by joining the midpoints of consecutive sides. Considers triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, and regular polygons using paper folding, drawings on graph paper, and plexiglass MIRA constructions. (Contains 12 references.) (MKR)

An attempt is made to define the meaning of invention and innovation in mathematics education in order to help develop guidelines for policies of research and development in this area. Spectrums of invention in the realms of geometry and group theory are proposed as models of ordering understanding of creative activity within mathematics. This…
