Uncovering Hidden Windmills across Contexts
International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, v53 n2 p535-548 2022
Windmill images and shapes have a long history in geometry and can be found in problems in different mathematical contexts. In this paper, we share and discuss various problems involving windmill shapes and solutions from geometry, algebra, to elementary number theory. These problems can be used, separately or together, for students to explore rotational symmetry and connect seemingly unrelated problems.
