Dorner, Christian – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2021
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.…

Aslan, Farhad; Duck, Howard – School Science and Mathematics, 1992
P-adic or g-adic sets are sets of elements formed by linear combinations of powers of p, a prime number, or g, a counting number, where the coefficients are whole numbers less than p or g. Discusses exercises illustrating basic numerical operations for p-adic and g-adic sets. Provides BASIC computer programs to verify the solutions. (MDH)

Zimmermann, Bernd – 1980
A three-dimensional classification system of mathematical problems is given. A background philosophy is constructed through an analysis of different approaches to problem-solving research, leading to the statement of 5 theses and the objectives for the study. An exploratory study of mathematical problem-solving processes is conducted within this…
