Twists on the Tower of Hanoi

James Metz; Maurice J. Burke; J. Kevin Colligan; Maria G. Fung; Jeffrey J. Wanko

The author considers the effects of two or more different colored disks on the number of necessary moves in this well-known puzzle. Counting and combinatorics as well as the binary number system are some of the mathematics involved.


The Mathematics Teacher | 2012

Approximating "Pi" using similar triangles

Ryota Matsuura; J. Kevin Colligan; Maria G. Fung; Dan Kalman; Jeffrey J. Wanko

This article presents a method for approximating Pi using similar triangles that was inspired by the authors work with middle school teachers. The method relies on a repeated application of a geometric construction that allows us to inscribe regular polygons inside a unit circle with arbitrarily large number of sides.


The Mathematics Teacher | 2011

Beyond 1 + 2 = 3 and ...

Charles F. Marion; J. Kevin Colligan; Maria G. Fung; Dan Kalman; Jeffrey J. Wanko

The author builds on a previous Delving Deeper article to extend his discussion of natural number sequences


The Mathematics Teacher | 2011

One problem, six (or more!) solutions

Paul J. Karafiol; Douglas H. O'Roark; Alex W. Zorn; J. Kevin Colligan; Maria G. Fung; Dan Kalman; Jeffrey J. Wanko

On a trip to Hungary, students and teacher become intrigued by a problem and work out several solutions Online extra: http://www.nctm.org/uploadedFiles/Journals_and_Books/MT/articles/2011-Vol_105/Extras-Vol_105/mt2011-09-150z1.pdf NOTE: In the print version of Delving Deeper for MT September 2011, a production error resulted in incorrect labels in figure 2. The labels should be the same as those in figure 1. This online version is correct.


The Mathematics Teacher | 2012

Triangle Construction in Taxicab Geometry

Keith M. Dreiling; J. Kevin Colligan; Maria G. Fung; Dan Kalman; Jeffrey J. Wanko


The Mathematics Teacher | 2011

Pell numbers: a fibonacci-like treasure for creative exploration

Thomas Koshy; J. Kevin Colligan; Dan Kalman; Virginia Stallings; Jeffrey J. Wanko
