A Piagetian Approach to Transformation Geometry via Microworlds.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
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)

Microworlds: Options for Learning and Teaching Geometry.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
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)
