| Abstract: |
The international debate about experimental approaches to the teaching and learning mathematics is very current. While number theory lends itself naturally to such approaches, elementary geometry can also provide interesting starting points for creative work in class. This article shows how simple considerations about right triangles and the golden section can be a starting point for a mathematical didactic laboratory. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
