  • Where should three towns build a hospital? How large a circular fountain can you place in a garden? Use three styles of constructions—paper folding, compass-straightedge, and dynamic software—to explore concurrency points. Then, solve triangle problems to find the best point. The variety of tools and methods appeals to multiple learning styles.
