Troutner, Joanne – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1988
Explains a unified approach to using the computer as a teaching tool for helping students discover concepts and principles involved in geometry. Describes the Geometric Supposer series which allows students to develop constructions and measure angles, areas, and circumferences. States that supplemental materials are also available. (RT)

Filimonov, Rossen; Kreith, Kurt – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1992
Describes the Plane Geometry System computer software developed at the Educational Computer Systems laboratory in Sofia, Bulgaria. The system enables students to use the concept of "algorithm" to correspond to the process of "deductive proof" in the development of plane geometry. Provides an example of the software's capability…

Dreyfus, Tommy; Halevi, Tirza – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1991
Discussed is the classroom suitability of an open learning computer microworld centered around families of quadratic equations that provides a framework for exploring questions about parabolas to establish the link between the graphical and the algebraic representations of quadratic equations.
