    • Geometric growing patterns: what’s the rule? 

      Hourigan, Mairead; Leavy, Aisling (AAMT [Australian Association of Mathematics Teachers], 2015)
      We explore several examples of the way in which to use geometrical growing patterns. Examples are situated within interesting contexts to elicit algebraic generalisations by working through a five-phase analysis process.
    • What’s a real 2D shape? Designing appropriate geometric instruction 

      Hourigan, Mairead; Leavy, Aisling (AAMT [Australian Association of Mathematics Teachers], 2015)
      Mairead Hourigan and Aisling Leavy describe a range of teaching and learning activities focusing on the identification and classification of 2-dimensional shapes. The activities described are useful in highlighting students’ ...
