Clarke, Valerie A.; Chambers, Susan M. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1987
Describes how Logo has been used to introduce primary children to mathematical concepts often considered to be too difficult for them. Outlines how Logo has been used to introduce the estimation of distance, the estimation of angles, symmetry, rules of precedence, the concepts of random, and the use of variables. (TW)

Signer, Barbara R. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1986
Reports on a study that was designed to investigate possible effects of inservice instruction (BASIC and LOGO/PILOT) on teachers' mathematical anxiety. Results indicated that teachers enrolled in BASIC programing courses manifested more mathematics anxiety after the course than those who were enrolled in a LOGO/PILOT course. (ML)
