Oxman, Victor; Stupel, Moshe – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2021
The present paper describes a dynamic investigation of polygons obtained by reflecting an arbitrary point located inside or outside a given polygon through the midpoints of its sides. The activity was based on hypothesizing on the shape of the reflection polygon that would be obtained, testing the hypotheses using dynamic software, and finding a…

Oxman, Victor; Stupel, Moshe; Weissman, Shula – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2021
The present paper describes beautiful conservation relations between areas formed by different geometrical shapes and area relations formed by algebraic functions. The conservation properties were investigated by students at an academic college of education using a computerized technological tool and were subsequently accompanied by justified…

Oxman, Victor; Stupel, Moshe – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2018
A geometrical task is presented with multiple solutions using different methods, in order to show the connection between various branches of mathematics and to highlight the importance of providing the students with an extensive 'mathematical toolbox'. Investigation of the property that appears in the task was carried out using a computerized tool.

Oxman, Victor; Stupel, Moshe; Segal, Ruti – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2017
An important and interesting area in the study of triangle geometry is the related issue of extrema problems and inequalities. These problems play a significant role in the mathematics study program in high school. In tasks such as these, the difficulty level is high when one does not know in advance what the expected answer is. When one knows…
