Direct linkGlass, Brad – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2004
This article describes a technology-based approach for dealing with a misconception that some students hold concerning the equivalency of geometric transformations. Students can begin to conceptualize transformations in terms of the relationship between preimage and image figures rather than focus on the motion of a figure. (Contains 7 figures.)

Peer reviewedHersberger, Jim; Frederick, Bill – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 1995
Presents an activity through which students develop mathematical concepts connected to area and perimeter in a rich, real-life setting and use tables, graphs, diagrams, and spreadsheets to explore the problem, see relationships, and make and test conjectures about those relationships. Encourages algebraic thinking. (SYB)
