Yiu-Kwong Man – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2025
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…

Oxman, Victor; Stupel, Moshe – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2021
The present paper describes a dynamic investigation of polygons obtained by reflecting an arbitrary point located inside or outside a given polygon through the midpoints of its sides. The activity was based on hypothesizing on the shape of the reflection polygon that would be obtained, testing the hypotheses using dynamic software, and finding a…

Risnawati; Andrian, Dedek; Azmi, Memen Permata; Amir, Zubaidah; Nurdin, Erdawati – International Journal of Instruction, 2019
This research aimed to develop a definition maps-based plane geometry module to improve the student teachers' mathematical reasoning skills based on the level of Van Hiele. This development research was to produce a product in the form of a module at the college level. This research referred to the ADDIE model involving five stages, i.e. analyze,…

Perry, Patricia; Camargo, Leonor; Samper, Carmen; Sáenz-Ludlow, Adalira; Molina, Óscar – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2014
To interpret in detail the meaning-making in the classroom and the corresponding teacher semiotic mediation, we have resorted to Peirce's triadic ign theory, interpreted by Sáenz-Ludlow and Zellweger. We present an example of the use of a few elements of that theory in the analysis of a classroom episode in which meaning is constructed with the…
