Holton, Derek; Oldknow, Adrian; Porkess, Roger; Stripp, Charlie – Teaching Mathematics and Its Applications: An International Journal of the IMA, 2004
Here we give an example of a problem that could be beneficially investigated by AS/A level students. It is a geometry problem that they can profitably tackle by geometric (especially geometry software) and algebraic means. Such problems naturally lead students to the need for proof--an essential part of mathematics that is often lacking in current…
