An interesting Sangaku problem was chosen and a multidirectional study was performed, which included finding the locus of a circle's center moving while being tangent to two circles. It also included finding the radius of that circle given the datum that it is also tangent to the side of an isosceles triangle. Two different proofs are presented of…

Mathematics educators agree that linking mathematical ideas by using multiple approaches for solving problems (or proving statements) is essential for the development of mathematical reasoning. In this sense, geometry provides a goldmine of multiple-solution tasks, where a myriad of different methods can be employed: either from the geometry topic…

The notion of periodicity stands for regular recurrence of phenomena in a particular order in nature or in the actions of man, machine, etc. Many examples can be given from daily life featuring periodicity. Mathematically the meaning of periodicity is that some value recurs with a constant frequency. Students learn about the periodicity of the…
