ABSTRACT

We explore the mathematics engagement of a group ofmathematics coaches, working in k-12 mathematics education. The incenter of a triangle is used to derive an alternative formula for the area of a triangle inspired by Usiskin, Peressini, Marhisotto, and Stanley (2002).
Keywords: mathematics education, technology, triangle incenter
