Peer reviewedHampel, 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 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 reviewedThompson, 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)

Peer reviewedBattista, Michael T.; Clements, Douglas H. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1988
Shortcomings of current curricula for geometry in the elementary school are discussed. The use of the computer programing language Logo to develop geometric ideas is described, with supporting research. (MNS)

Peer reviewedBinswanger, Richard – Arithmetic Teacher, 1988
Describes an activity intended to incorporate investigation into learning of mathematics. The example cited involved having fourth graders study perimeter and area of rectangles using Logo. The author suggests that what began as a simple exercise in investigating geometric concepts became an exciting exploration that touched on many topics. (PK)
