Simmons, Malcolm; Cope, Peter – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 1990
Described is an investigation into how the use of LOGO programing language affects children's basic knowledge of an angle. Findings indicate that children make erroneous adjustments to their conceptual knowledge of angle to accommodate the results of acquired procedural interaction with the computer. (Author/CW)

Jurgens, Hartmut; And Others – Scientific American, 1990
The production and application of images based on fractal geometry are described. Discussed are fractal language groups, fractal image coding, and fractal dialects. Implications for these applications of geometry to mathematics education are suggested. (CW)

Goldenberg, E. Paul; Kliman, Marlene – 1988
Computer graphing makes it easier for students and teachers to create and manipulate graphs. Scale issues are nearly unavoidable in the computer context. In interviews and protocol analysis with six students from grade 8, and 12 students from grades 11 and 12, it became apparent that some aspects of scale are clearly understood very early while…

Baek, Young K.; Layne, Benjamin H. – Journal of Computer-Based Instruction, 1988
Describes study of high school students that was designed to determine the relative effectiveness of color, graphics, and animation in computer assisted learning (CAL) of a mathematical rule. Three CAL modes, in color and in black and white, are compared; pretests and posttests are explained; and further research needs are suggested. (13…

Birk, James P., Ed. – Journal of Chemical Education, 1989
Describes two computer programs for chemistry: (1) "A Microcomputer Simulation of Fractal Electrodeposition" (provides for the study of fractal aggregrates, BASIC 4.0); and (2) "Counters on Grids" (a game to illustrate the distribution of energy). Notes the programs are available from the authors. (MVL)
