Direct linkEngelbrecht, Johann; Mwambakana, Jeanine – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2016
The purpose of mathematics competitions, and in our case the South African Mathematics Olympiad (SAMO), is to promote problem solving skills and strategies, to generate interest and enthusiasm for mathematics and to identify the most talented mathematical minds. SAMO is organised in two divisions--a junior and a senior division--over three rounds.…

Getting high school students to enjoy mathematics and to connect concepts to their daily lives is a challenge for many educators. The Mathematics of Skateboarding demonstrated innovative and creative ways to engage students in content and skills mapped to state requirements for high school students in Algebra and Geometry.

Balka, Don S.; Wiles, Clyde A. – 1985
The 1985 Indiana Mathematics Contest included tests in Algebra (First Course), Geometry, Algebra (Second Course), and Comprehensive. Test-writing responsibilities were delegated to mathematics and mathematics education faculties at four state universities, with the mathematical content based on course objectives in the state guidelines. Fourteen…

Peer reviewedL'Heureux, James E. – Mathematics Teacher, 1982
This material shows how to use basic techniques, principles of counting, and geometry to count squares on geoboards. The methods are elementary in that the proofs are easily conceptualized. A discussion of other approaches illustrates that easily stated problems may lead to very difficult and sophisticated methods. (MP)

Yates, Robert C. – 1971
This book, photographically reproduced from its original 1942 edition, is an extended essay on one of the three problems of the ancients. The first chapter reduces the problem of trisecting an angle to the solution of a cubic equation, shows that straightedge and compasses constructions can only give lengths of a certain form, and then proves that…
