Clausen-May, Tandi – Mathematics Teaching Incorporating Micromath, 2006
In this article, the author describes two Powerpoint presentations designed to help visual learners calculate the circumference and the area of a circle. In particular, the author describes how these presentations can be used to establish mental images that can help pupils to understand, and so recall, the principles that underlie the formulae for…

McLeay, Heather – Micromath, 2002
Provides ways of using geostrips to make different kinds of quadrilaterals. Employs combinations of four different length geostrips and works on classifying all of the quadrilaterals using different combinations of the strips. Discusses impressions for the classroom and presents some examples of class activities using geostrips and dynamic…

Peer reviewedKlein, Raymond J.; Hamilton, Ilene – Mathematics Teacher, 1997
Describes a method of effectively introducing the concept of radian measure that uses Cabri Geometry II software to construct a circle of arbitrary radius and to measure that radius. The goal is to determine how many of these radii fit around a circle. (DDR)
