What Works Clearinghouse Rating
Peer reviewedMaor, Eli – Mathematics Teacher, 1977
A geometric interpretation is given to the arithmetic, geometric, and harmonic means of two positive numbers a and b, and a fourth fundamental mean, the root mean square, is introduced. Results are generalized to three dimensions, and other types of means are discussed. (DT)
Descriptors: Elementary Secondary Education, Geometric Concepts, Instruction, Mathematics Education
Peer reviewedIles, Kim; Wilson, Lester J. – Mathematics Teacher, 1977
This article presents a geometric construction in which the quadratic, arithmetic, geometric, and harmonic means are drawn together in a single diagram. (DT)
Descriptors: Elementary Secondary Education, Geometric Concepts, Instruction, Mathematics Education
Peer reviewedMetz, Jim – Mathematics Teacher, 1977
An algebra problem is analyzed, and several variations are suggested for further student inquiry. Practical applications of the problem are discussed. (DT)
