Wares, Arsalan – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2018
The purpose of this paper is to provide examples of "non-traditional" proof-related activities that can explored in a dynamic geometry environment by university and high school students of mathematics. These propositions were encountered in the dynamic geometry environment. The author believes that teachers can ask their students to…

Wares, Arsalan – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2010
The purpose of this article is to provide examples of "non-traditional" theorems that can be explored in a dynamic geometry environment by university and high school students. These theorems were encountered in the dynamic geometry environment. The author believes that teachers can ask their students to construct proofs for these theorems. The…

Wares, Arsalan – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2008
This note describes two conjectures pertaining to repeated partitioning of an arbitrary triangle. The first conjecture turns out to be true, and hence gives rise to a new, more general, conjecture that is also addressed in this article. Both conjectures can be explored in a dynamic geometry environment. The proofs to the conjectures addressed in…

Wares, Arsalan – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2002
This note describes a large-scale modelling activity involving geometry that can be solved with the help of uni-variable calculus. More specifically, it introduces and proves the following theorem: given any non-equilateral triangle, there exist infinitely many mutually non-congruent triangles with the same area and the same perimeter as the given…
