Poon, Kin-Keung; Shiu, Wai-Chee
International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, v39 n6 p833-838 Sep 2008
In this note, we will focus on several applications on the Dirichlet's box principle in Discrete Mathematics lesson and number theory lesson. In addition, the main result is an innovative game on a triangular board developed by the authors. The game has been used in teaching and learning mathematics in Discrete Mathematics and some high schools in Hong Kong. (Contains 1 note.)
