In this article, the history of the golden ratio is discussed to demonstrate how exploring this ratio would be of value in a secondary mathematics classroom. Following this, a mathematical activity related to the golden ratio that is suitable for students from Year 7 to Year 12 is outlined.

The Modelling Dance task is a mathematical modelling task that explores the relationship between mathematics and dance. The authors share the task sequence, adaptations made to support virtual implementation, and evidence of student learning related to learning goals.

In mathematics, there are countless connections between apparently unrelated topics. Students often find these relationships interesting, and they contribute to expanding their mathematical repertoires. This article describes one of these unusual connections, between the sum of periodic functions and the commensurable and incommensurable numbers.…

This article details a high school classroom activity in which algebra tiles are used to help students gain a conceptual understanding of completing the square. The activity utilises the eight elements of effective mathematics education suggested in the National Council of Teacher of Mathematics' (NCTM's) "Principles to action: Ensuring…
