Children's Learning in a Computer Microworld for Transformation Geometry.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Edwards, Laurie D. – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 1991
Twelve middle school students, working in pairs, used a computer microworld to explore introductory geometric transformational concepts. Despite a tendency for symbolic overgeneralization, the students were able to use visual feedback from the microworld and discussions with partners to correct their own mistakes. (Author/JJK)
