In this paper, a simple proof of the Morley's Trisector Theorem is presented which involves basic plane geometry only. The use of backward geometric approach, trigonometry or advanced mathematical techniques is not required. It is suitable for introducing to secondary or undergraduate students, as well as teachers or instructors for learning or…

In this paper, we explore how the typical second year undergraduate topic of matrix diagonalisation can be applied to solve a geometric problem which arises frequently in Vector Calculus: to find the curve of intersection of a plane and a surface. We use GeoGebra, which offers a cost-free and dynamic interface, to explore a specific variant of…

With a focus on related rates problems, the present study reports on quantitative and covariational reasoning opportunities provided by five widely used calculus textbooks in the United States. There are three major results from this study. First, quantitative reasoning opportunities are plentiful, while covariational reasoning opportunities are…

In this case study we explored how a mathematician's teaching of the Cauchy-Riemann (CR) equations actualized the virtual aspects of the equations. Using videotaped classroom data, we found that in a three-day period, this mathematician used embodiment to animate and bind formal aspects of the CR equations (including conformality), metaphors,…

Action-Process-Object-Schema (APOS) theory and the triad of schema development are used as the framework in this study to investigate students' understanding of the concept of "circle." In this report, results are presented from the data analysis of responses to questions in semi-structured interviews of 15 students enrolled in a college…

Exploring non-Euclidean geometries is a common way for College Geometry instructors to highlight subtleties in Euclidean geometry. The concept of congruence, going undefined or informally defined in multiple axiomatic systems, is particularly susceptible to conflation with the idea of "same measure." Taxicab geometry provides a context…

This paper discusses a project for linear algebra instructors interested in a concrete, geometric application of matrix diagonalization. The project provides a theorem concerning a nested sequence of tetrahedrons and scaffolded questions for students to work through a proof. Along the way students learn content from three-dimensional geometry and…

Despite growing recognition of the value of using technology in mathematics instruction and learning, preservice teachers consistently performed abysmally in college geometry. This study therefore examined the attitude of preservice teachers towards the integration of technology in the teaching and learning of College Geometry. Quantitative…

This paper explains teaching modern geometry for schools using software called Surfer and converting the algebraic surfaces into Batik motifs as one example of teaching mathematics with the integration of STEAM. Typical algebraic surfaces known in schools were, for example, cylinders and spheres which are identified as traditional geometry in this…

This article describes an instructional sequence used with inservice secondary mathematics teachers as part of a graduate course. The instructional sequence focused on designing tasks using Interactive Geometry Software (IGS). This study answers a call for replication studies to investigate the use of an established instructional sequence. Results…

This study aims to address the teaching of integrals in multivariable calculus concerning the role taken by geometry, specifically, geometrical content dealing with boundaries in integrals that appear as curves and surfaces in R[superscript 2] and R[superscript 3]. Adopting the framework of the Anthropological Theory of the Didactic, we approached…

In this article special sequences involving the Butterfly theorem are defined. The Butterfly theorem states that if M is the midpoint of a chord PQ of a circle, then following some definite instructions, it is possible to get two other points X and Y on PQ, such that M is also the midpoint of the segment XY. The convergence investigation of those…

Considering Gen Z's learning needs, primarily focusing on bachelor IT students, a STEAM-based methodology was developed and tested for teaching and learning the principal properties of the cardioid curve. The four-component methodology is based on visuality and combines frontal teaching techniques with educational robotics, dynamic geometry…

The authors describe their approach to teaching a course on finite fields and combinatorial applications, including block designs and error-correcting codes, using a hybrid of lectures and active learning. Under the discussed classroom model, there are two lecture days and two discovery-based discussion days each week. Discussions center around…

Many mathematics teachers and students are familiar with the typical "box problem." In this type of problem, one takes a rectangular (or a square) sheet of paper and cuts out four squares from the four corners of the sheet and then folds the four strips up to form a box. Math problems like this are seen in middle school, high school,…
