Pedagogy Corner: Spirolaterals
Lovitt, Charles
Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom, v22 n1 p37-39 2017
Having a nice mathematical task is one challenge for a teacher--another is making it come alive for students in the classroom. The pathway to the latter is pedagogy--the range of teaching strategies possessed and activated by the teacher. This article presents a delightful mathematical activity known as Spirolaterals, a geometrical figure formed by the repetition of a simple rule. Fascinating and aesthetically pleasing geometric shapes can be created and explored mathematically when following some given rules on dotty paper.
