Clason, Robert G. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1991
Described is a recursive LOGO method for dissecting polygons into congruent parts (rep tiles) similar to the original polygon, thereby producing unexpected patterns. A list of descriptions for such dissections is included along with suggestions for modifications that allow extended student explorations into tile patterns. (JJK)

Nevile, Liddy, Ed. – 1992
Logo programming language was conceived 25 years ago, but in the 10 years since it has made its way out of the laboratory, research has not clarified the role of Logo in education. A conference on Logo and mathematics focused on mathematical and educational issues, rather than on technical issues related to changes in hardware and Logo software.…

Pereira, Peter – 1985
Some mathematics educators feel that too little geometry is taught in elementary schools. This may have serious effects as many students arrive in the traditional high school geometry course without essential backgrounds in informal geometry. The result of this lack of preparation is often lower scores on standardized tests. In this situation,…
