Grimmett, John – Mathematics in School, 1980
In part 2, several surveying activities are suggested. The first, a radial survey, combines activities for dealing with length and angles previously mentioned in part one. The second suggested survey is an offset survey; needed implements and procedures are described. Two types of triangulation and a plane table survey are also discussed. (MK)

Gutierrez, Angel; Fernandez, Alejandro – Mathematics in School, 1985
A new model of geoboard based on an axis, the "Gyratory Geoboard," is described. Some activities for teaching plane rotations and central symmetry are included. (MNS)

Duffin, Janet; And Others – Mathematics in School, 1984
Descriptions are given of how groups aged 7, 10, and 13 tackled the problem of how many squares are on a chessboard. Teachers noted that often the less able children were the ones with ideas, whereas the able ones became impatient and were unwilling to go on trying. (MNS)

Ranucci, Ernest R. – Mathematics in School, 1973
Different regular-polygon-shaped candles wound with a sheet of paper are cut through obliquely. When the papers are unwound, unique patterns are revealed. Investigation of these patterns leads to the discovery of geometric concepts. (JP)
