Pereira, Peter – 1985
Some mathematics educators feel that too little geometry is taught in elementary schools. This may have serious effects as many students arrive in the traditional high school geometry course without essential backgrounds in informal geometry. The result of this lack of preparation is often lower scores on standardized tests. In this situation,…

Thomas, David A. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1989
Discusses dimensionality in Euclidean geometry. Presents methods to produce fractals using LOGO. Uses the idea of self-similarity. Included are program listings and suggested extension activities. (MVL)
Descriptors: Computer Graphics, Computer Oriented Programs, Computer Uses in Education, Fractals

Niess, Margaret L. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1988
Considers activities that use LOGO to slide, turn, and flip the "turtle." Uses non-LOGO tools such as cutouts, pattern blocks, and tangrams to enhance the motion work. Provides examples and programs with explanations. (MVL)
