Love, E. R. – Australian Mathematics Teacher, 1974
The author responds to a lecture given by Dieudonne, reported in the September 1973 issue of this journal, by considering the goals for mathematics instruction and by defending the selection of content and approaches for geometry, algebra, and trigonometry. (DT)

Rodgers, John J. – Mathematics Teacher, 1975
By introducing elementary trigonometry earlier in a geometry course, a teacher can demonstrate how a variety of techniques can be brought to bear on the same problem. Eight theorems illustrate this. (Author/KM)

Lambert, Gary E. – Mathematics Teacher, 1979
Complex numbers and trigonometry are used to prove that a given constructed line is equal to the length of one side of a regular pentagon inscribed in a unit circle. (MP)
Descriptors: Geometry, Instruction, Mathematics, Number Concepts
Wavrik, John J. – Calculators/Computers Magazine, 1978
A game for the HP-25 programable calculator is discussed. The objectives of the game are to introduce angle measurement and the rudiments of trigonometry. A program for the game is given. (MP)

Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Usiskin, Zalman – Mathematics Teacher, 1975
In this article, a continuation of SE 513 148, the author presents seven additional applications of group theory to high school mathematics. These applications can be used, not only to illustrate the group concept, but also to extend the development of ideas in the high school curriculum. (SD)

Dundas, Kay – Two-Year College Mathematics Journal, 1977
A class of triangles related to the Pythagorean triangles is described; theorems concerning this class are proved. (SD)

Lloyd, D. G. H. B. – Mathematics in School, 1976
The author argues that sine, secant, and tangent should be taught as the three basic trigonometric functions rather than sine, cosine, and tangent. (SD)
Descriptors: Curriculum, Geometry, Instruction, Mathematics Education
Thomas, F. H. – Mathematics Teaching, 1976
Several geometric and trigonometric proofs are discussed. These proofs were selected from a larger group because of their instructional value promoting enrichment or generalization. (SD)

Pedersen, Jean J. – Mathematics Teacher, 1976
The use of paper folding to study properties of geometric solids is discussed. (SD)
Descriptors: Curriculum, Geometric Concepts, Geometry, Instruction
Owsley, Fran, Ed. – 1974
This course is part of an engineering certification program for men inspecting construction projects. It presumes some high school training in mathematics and science. The course begins with examples showing the importance of mathematics on the job. Following that is a section on algebra, one on geometry, and one on trigonometry. (KM)
