Buhl, David A.; Morissette, Michael A.; Wolff, Jeffry – Mathematics Teacher, 2006
The students of a Mathematical Modeling and Problem Solving class investigate and explore the mathematics involved in fitting a box spring mattress up a stairwell by solving various optimization problems and by using The Geometer's Sketchpad. The results show that a very small fraction of the class was actually able to solve the problem without…
