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…

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),…

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…

Three unheralded results, two in Coordinate Geometry and the other in Plane Geometry, provide three proofs of a theorem dubbed by this author as "The Fundamental Theorem". The above theorem offers a uniform proof establishing the positive integral nature of the radii of the incircle and the three escribed circles associated with the right triangle…

In this note, a simple proof of the Generalized Ceva Theorem in plane geometry is presented. The approach is based on the principle of equilibrium in mechanics. (Contains 2 figures.)

In this paper the didactically-methodological procedure named the MTE-model of mathematics teaching (Motivation test-Teaching-Examination test) is suggested and recommended when the teacher has subsequent lessons. This model is presented in detail through the processing of a nonstandard theme--the theme of decomposition of planes. Its efficiency…
