Peer reviewedLeron, Uri; Zazkis, Rina – For the Learning of Mathematics, 1986
The relation between mathematical and computational aspects of recursion are discussed and some examples analyzed. Definition, proof, and construction are considered, as well as their counterparts in computer languages (illustrated with Logo procedures). (MNS)

Peer reviewedSenteni, Alain – For the Learning of Mathematics, 1986
Four methods of filling a square using programing with Logo are presented, with comments on children's solutions. Analysis of the mathematical or programing concepts underlying a few simple algorithms is the focus. (MNS)
