Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Computers, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics
Peer reviewedBall, Stanley – School Science and Mathematics, 1985
The learning potential of Logo programing language is discussed. Observations of students in kindergarten and first grade interacting with a sequence of Logo activities led to the development of nine benchmarks. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Geometric Concepts
Peer reviewedHampel, Paul J. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1984
A motivational classroom activity involving mazes, with explorations in the Logo programing language, is described. Use of the Big Trak toy to teach programing is also described. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Computer Software, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics
Peer reviewedStreibel, Michael J. – School Science and Mathematics, 1983
The kind of learning experience provided by the LOGO programing language, its efficiency as a learning tool within the school curriculum, and the role of the teacher in the LOGO environment are each discussed. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Learning Theories
Peer reviewedBillstein, Rick; Lott, Johnny W. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1986
The use of the computer language Logo offers an excellent opportunity to use technology to help develop problem-solving skills and other mathematical concepts. Examples of explorations are presented. (MNS)

Peer reviewedMason, Margie – Arithmetic Teacher, 1985
This article: describes how to prevent pins on game paddles from breaking; suggests using needlepoint books for ideas to design computer graphics; lists a BASIC program to create a Christmas tree, with extension activities; suggests a LOGO Christmas activity; and describes a book on the development of microcomputers. (JN)
Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Computer Software, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics
Peer reviewedHart, Lynn C. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1984
How a group of seventh-grade students was involved in helping elementary school students learn to use a microcomputer is described. Objectives were identified, a schedule set up, and problems considered. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Junior High School Students
Peer reviewedHillel, Joel – For the Learning of Mathematics, 1985
Described are four hour-long sessions of children working with the definition and use of a procedure for triangles in Logo programming. The conclusion is that turtle geometry is not a trivial activity. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Educational Research, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics

Sigurdson, Sol E.; Olson, Al T. – 1983
Described is a project in which microcomputers were used by seven teachers in grades 2-6 in Edmonton, Alberta. The microcomputer was placed in each classroom for one-half day every day for a full school year. Teachers were asked to use it at least 70% of the time for practice in mathematics with individual students, using the Milliken Math…
