Abstract

This article discusses two examples of geometric problem solving suitable for middle and high school students. Both problems are related to students' everyday life experience and allow them to discover deep connections between mathematical properties and nature. With the help of dynamic mathematics software, students have the opportunity to discover such properties themselves by investigating interactive geometric constructions. (Contains 7 figures and 1 note.)
