Peer reviewedBannon, Thomas J. – Mathematics Teacher, 1991
Discussed are several different transformations based on the generation of fractals including self-similar designs, the chaos game, the koch curve, and the Sierpinski Triangle. Three computer programs which illustrate these concepts are provided. (CW)
Descriptors: Chaos Theory, Computer Assisted Instruction, Computer Software, Fractals
Peer reviewedHughes, Barnabas; And Others – Mathematics Teacher, 1991
Presented is a series of eight hands-on exercises using Apple II computer graphics to investigate the following characteristics of periodic functions: period, amplitude, horizontal shift, and vertical shift. Detailed teacher instructions and the accompanying computer program are included. (MDH)

Peer reviewedOrton, Robert E. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1990
Described is a short program for teaching and learning about geometric transformations. The integration of geometry problem solving and BASIC programing is discussed. Applications of computer graphics are illustrated. (CW)
Descriptors: Computation, Computer Graphics, Computer Uses in Education, Educational Technology
Peer reviewedBarton, Ray – Mathematics Teacher, 1990
Presented is an educational game called "The Chaos Game" which produces complicated fractal images. Two basic computer programs are included. The production of fractal images by the Sierpinski gasket and the Chaos Game programs is discussed. (CW)
