Fragile Knowledge of Angle in Turtle Geometry.

Peer reviewed

Simmons, Malcolm; Cope, Peter – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 1990

Described is an investigation into how the use of LOGO programing language affects children's basic knowledge of an angle. Findings indicate that children make erroneous adjustments to their conceptual knowledge of angle to accommodate the results of acquired procedural interaction with the computer. (Author/CW)

Solving Structured Geometric Tasks on the Computer: The Role of Feedback in Generating Strategies.

Peer reviewed

Hillel, Joel; And Others – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 1989

Described is a year-long study of the way a group of six 12-year-old children went about solving a special class of geometric problems using a computer and a limited set of LOGO programing tools. Examines solution strategies deciding whether those strategies led to insights about mathematical relations. (Author/MVL)
