Hampel, Paul J. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1985
Information on grants for computers, several recommended books, two Logo programs, and some quotations are included. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Computers, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics

Ball, Stanley – School Science and Mathematics, 1985
The learning potential of Logo programing language is discussed. Observations of students in kindergarten and first grade interacting with a sequence of Logo activities led to the development of nine benchmarks. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Geometric Concepts

Billstein, Rick; Lott, Johnny W. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1986
The use of the computer language Logo offers an excellent opportunity to use technology to help develop problem-solving skills and other mathematical concepts. Examples of explorations are presented. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Geometric Concepts

Hillel, Joel – For the Learning of Mathematics, 1985
Described are four hour-long sessions of children working with the definition and use of a procedure for triangles in Logo programming. The conclusion is that turtle geometry is not a trivial activity. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Educational Research, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics

Oldfield, John; Oldfield, Christine – Mathematics in School, 1985
The use of Logo to develop mathematical concepts is advocated. Children's comments as they work with Logo are presented. (MNS)

Newell, G. J.; MacFarlane, J. D. – Australian Mathematics Teacher, 1983
The computer simulation game "Curve-Fit" is described. Its overall objective is to fit curves to six different data sets by estimating the parameters of each curve. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Computer Programs, Educational Games, Geometric Concepts

Brown, Ken – Mathematics in School, 1986
Use of background grids from Logo programs is involved in this activity on angles and slopes. The value of such activities is then discussed. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Graphics, Computer Oriented Programs, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics
Battista, Michael – 1985
Having students draw and investigate geometric shapes in a Logo environment is advocated as an excellent way to have them constructively learn geometric concepts. This document illustrates the potential of Logo for getting high school students involved in mathematical explorations by presenting a sequence of seven activities. The activities…

Thompson, Patrick W. – Mathematics Teacher, 1985
The project described in this article grew from the observation that many geometry students are unable to see anything in a diagram beyond a static presentation. A computerized microworld called "Motions" is described, with illustrations. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Computer Software, Geometric Concepts, Geometry

Waits, Bert K.; Demana, Franklin – Mathematics Teacher, 1989
An approach to finding the rational roots of polynomial equations based on computer graphing is given. It integrates graphing with the purely algebraic approach. Either computers or graphing calculators can be used. (MNS)
Descriptors: Algebra, Computer Oriented Programs, Equations (Mathematics), Geometric Concepts

Aieta, Joseph F. – Mathematics Teacher, 1985
Some examples are given of geometric exploration and problem solving in which Logo is the primary tool and turtle graphics is the mathematical environment. Students can explore and develop important patterns while building visual intuition. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Computer Software, Geometric Concepts, Geometry

Kulm, Gerald – Mathematics Teacher, 1984
How the computer can become an integral part of mathematics learning at the junior high school level is discussed in terms of mathematics processes. The rationale for activities involving programmed processes and examples of them are given. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Computer Software, Geometric Concepts, Junior High School Students
Libeskind, Shlomo; And Others – 1983
These activities were designed for use at the University of Montana, where they were tested for four quarters in a mathematics for elementary teachers course on informal geometry. They are for use with Apple II-Plus computers with 64K memory or Apple IIe computers and MIT Logo. (Modifications are necessary if the activities are to be used with…

Battista, Michael T.; Clements, Douglas H. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1988
Shortcomings of current curricula for geometry in the elementary school are discussed. The use of the computer programing language Logo to develop geometric ideas is described, with supporting research. (MNS)

Hansen, Viggo P., Ed.; Zweng, Marilyn J., Ed. – 1984
The role of computers (especially microcomputers) in the mathematics curriculum and suggestions for using them in mathematics instruction are discussed in this yearbook. The 27 articles are presented under five headings. Part 1, Issues, includes articles on comprehensive instructional computing, possible new curricula, and a syllabus for a…
