Peer reviewedWeeks, Chris – Mathematics in School, 1998
Presents Ptolemy's theorem on geometry and its proof. (ASK)
Descriptors: Elementary Secondary Education, Geometric Concepts, Mathematical Concepts, Mathematics Activities
Peer reviewedPorkess, Roger – Mathematics in School, 1998
Presents a problem and its solution on generating the complete set of triples of given sides of a triangle. Determines that students who work through the problem stand to learn a great deal more than just which particular triangles fit the given requirements. (ASK)
