A very common Applied Optimization Problem in Calculus deals with minimizing a distance given certain constraints, using Calculus, the general method for solving these problems is to find a function formula for the distance that we need to minimize, take the derivative of the distance function, set it equal to zero, and solve for the input value,…

This paper deals with a set of geometrical problems for mathematical problem-solving at different difficulty levels. All of these are presented as national flags and one has to investigate invariant area proportions when changing the locus of any corner of the flag. This dynamic element suggests the usage of dynamical geometry environments.…

School robotics programmes help students learn science and maths curriculum and acquire needed social skills, such as collaboration. The aim of this observational study was to compare the level of seven variables indicative of student collaborative behaviour (focus, effort/contribution, communication, problem-solving, engagement in inquiry,…
