Ranucci, Ernest R. – Sch Sci Math, 1970
Discusses how intriguing arithmetic images from geometric situations, which serves to remind students that mathematics is interrelated. Discusses also how the teacher can anticipate the possible dialogue in a class and thereby stress points of emphasis "ahead of time". (BR)

Powell, R. I. – Teaching Mathematics and Its Applications, 2002
Shows how integer-sided triangles can be nested, each nest having a single enclosing isosceles triangle. Brings to light what can be seen as a relatively simple generalization of Pythagoras' theorem, a result that should be readily accessible to many secondary school pupils. (Author/KHR)

Foster, Beth – Mathematics Teaching, 2002
I have had some sticky moments with my top set Y11 students. Three of them are quicker at spotting applications of the alternate segment theorem than I am, which I find unnerving. Two of them have discovered cross-multiplication for themselves and are threatening to show others, despite my philosophical objections. (Author)

Zhao, Feng-Zhen; Wang, Tianming – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2005
In this paper, using the Lambert series and other known results, the authors consider the computation of a class of series involving the powers of generalized Fibonacci and Lucas numbers, and obtain their approximate values.
