Yiu-Kwong Man – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2025
In this paper, a simple proof of the Morley's Trisector Theorem is presented which involves basic plane geometry only. The use of backward geometric approach, trigonometry or advanced mathematical techniques is not required. It is suitable for introducing to secondary or undergraduate students, as well as teachers or instructors for learning or…

Byrd, James L., III; Bossé, Michael J.; Spurr, Michael J. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2021
Often, straightforward notions from one mathematical domain, when altered even slightly, can become rich and rewarding investigations involving numerous additional domains -- particularly when the investigation includes rigorous proof. This study begins with a familiar high school geometry problem (namely finding the circumcentre of a triangle),…

Sinitsky, Ilya; Stupel, Moshe; Sinitsky, Marina – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2018
The paper explores the division of a polygon into equal-area pieces using line segments originating at a common point. The mathematical background of the proposed method is very simple and belongs to secondary school geometry. Simple examples dividing a square into two, four or eight congruent pieces provide a starting point to discovering how to…

Oxman, Victor; Stupel, Moshe – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2021
The present paper describes a dynamic investigation of polygons obtained by reflecting an arbitrary point located inside or outside a given polygon through the midpoints of its sides. The activity was based on hypothesizing on the shape of the reflection polygon that would be obtained, testing the hypotheses using dynamic software, and finding a…

Trenkler, Götz; Trenkler, Dietrich – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2017
Given three planes in space, a complete characterization of their intersection is provided. Special attention is paid to the case when the intersection set does not exist of one point only. Besides the vector cross product, the tool of generalized inverse of a matrix is used extensively.

Anatriello, Giuseppina; Tortoriello, Francesco Saverio; Vincenzi, Giovanni – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2016
In line with the latest positions of Gottlob Frege, this article puts forward the hypothesis that the cognitive bases of mathematics are geometric in nature. Starting from the geometry axioms of the "Elements" of Euclid, we introduce a geometric theory of proportions along the lines of the one introduced by Grassmann in…
