Iteration Sequences and Their Representations.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Weigand, Hans-Georg – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 1991
This empirical investigation, implemented with a computer program, examined the influence of graphical and numerical representations on the discovery process involving iteration sequence properties and concomitant problem-solving abilities for 79 eleventh grade students and 22 secondary mathematics teachers. Results indicate that heuristics and…

Children's Inductive Thinking during Intrinsic and Euclidean Geometrical Activities in a Computer Programming Environment.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Kynigos, Chronis – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 1993
Used 2 12-year-old children to investigate deductive and inductive reasoning in plane geometry. A LOGO microworld was programmed to measure distances and turns relative to points on the plane. Learning environments like this may enhance formation of inductive geometrical understandings. (Contains 44 references.) (LDR)
