Laudano, Francesco – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
We introduce the concept of the "sequence of the ratios of convex quadrilaterals," identify some properties of these sequences and use them to provide new characterizations for some classic quadrilateral families. The research involves aspects of geometry, arithmetic and mathematical analysis, which converge to produce the results.

Schneider, Michael; Stern, Elsbeth – Developmental Psychology, 2010
Interactions between conceptual and procedural knowledge influence the development of mathematical competencies. However, after decades of research, these interrelations are still under debate, and empirical results are inconclusive. The authors point out a source of these problems. Different kinds of knowledge and competencies only show up…

Asiru, Muniru A. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2008
The note introduces sequences having M-bonacci property. Two summation formulas for sequences with M-bonacci property are derived. The formulas are generalizations of corresponding summation formulas for both M-bonacci numbers and Fibonacci numbers that have appeared previously in the literature. Applications to the Arithmetic series, "m"th "g -…

Plaza, A.; Falcon, S. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2008
In this article, we consider some generalizations of Fibonacci numbers. We consider k-Fibonacci numbers (that follow the recurrence rule F[subscript k,n + 2] = kF[subscript k,n + 1] + F[subscript k,n]), the (k, l)-Fibonacci numbers (that follow the recurrence rule F[subscript k,n + 2] = kF[subscript k,n + 1] + lF[subscript k,n]), and the Fibonacci…
