Hampel, Paul J. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1985
Information on grants for computers, several recommended books, two Logo programs, and some quotations are included. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Computers, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Ball, 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
Piele, Donald T. – Creative Computing, 1982
Four stages of problem solving are believed to occur in programing. Spirolaterals are discussed as specific examples of programing activity that have mathematical and programing interest. The BASIC programing language is used on the Apple II computer to provide examples of possible solutions to the problems posed. (MP)
Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Geometric Concepts, Geometric Constructions, Geometry
Rowe, Neil – Creative Computing, 1979
Examples are given of computer activities in analytic geometry. (MK)
Descriptors: Analytic Geometry, Computer Oriented Programs, Computer Programs, Computers
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Billstein, 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)

Hillel, 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)

Newell, G. J.; MacFarlane, J. D. – Australian Mathematics Teacher, 1983
The computer simulation game "Curve-Fit" is described. Its overall objective is to fit curves to six different data sets by estimating the parameters of each curve. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Computer Programs, Educational Games, Geometric Concepts
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Brown, Ken – Mathematics in School, 1986
Use of background grids from Logo programs is involved in this activity on angles and slopes. The value of such activities is then discussed. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Graphics, Computer Oriented Programs, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics
Battista, Michael – 1985
Having students draw and investigate geometric shapes in a Logo environment is advocated as an excellent way to have them constructively learn geometric concepts. This document illustrates the potential of Logo for getting high school students involved in mathematical explorations by presenting a sequence of seven activities. The activities…

Thompson, Patrick W. – Mathematics Teacher, 1985
The project described in this article grew from the observation that many geometry students are unable to see anything in a diagram beyond a static presentation. A computerized microworld called "Motions" is described, with illustrations. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Computer Software, Geometric Concepts, Geometry

Waits, Bert K.; Demana, Franklin – Mathematics Teacher, 1989
An approach to finding the rational roots of polynomial equations based on computer graphing is given. It integrates graphing with the purely algebraic approach. Either computers or graphing calculators can be used. (MNS)
Descriptors: Algebra, Computer Oriented Programs, Equations (Mathematics), Geometric Concepts
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Aieta, Joseph F. – Mathematics Teacher, 1985
Some examples are given of geometric exploration and problem solving in which Logo is the primary tool and turtle graphics is the mathematical environment. Students can explore and develop important patterns while building visual intuition. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Computer Software, Geometric Concepts, Geometry

Kulm, Gerald – Mathematics Teacher, 1984
How the computer can become an integral part of mathematics learning at the junior high school level is discussed in terms of mathematics processes. The rationale for activities involving programmed processes and examples of them are given. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Computer Software, Geometric Concepts, Junior High School Students
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Thompson, Charles S.; Van de Walle, John – Arithmetic Teacher, 1985
Described are: how teachers can use the computer language Logo, along with noncomputer activities, for teaching about linear and two-dimensional patterns and about combining shapes to create more complex shapes. Three computer program listings are included. (MNS)
