Interactive Geometry in the B.C. (Before Computers) Era
Whittaker, Heather; Johnson, Iris DeLoach
Mathematics Teacher, v99 n3 p170-175 Oct 2005
A 3-by-5 card is used to represent two or more sets of parallel lines, four right angles, opposite sides congruent and to investigate the Pythagorean theorem, similar triangles, and the tangent ratio before the introduction of computers. Students were asked to draw two parallel lines, cross them with a transversal and label the angles, which helped the students in remembering the concepts of interior angles.
