Peer reviewedStevenson, Ian – For the Learning of Mathematics, 2001
Discusses some aspects of learning to read the process of the variation in congruence and relate it to the original geometry of the sphere since it touches on more general questions about how models are appropriated and used. Presents a learning episode that implemented projective models for both spherical and hyperbolic geometry in Object Logo.…

Peer reviewedSutherland, Rosamund – For the Learning of Mathematics, 1991
Discusses concerns for mathematics education research on algebra and requestions methods that focus on the Piagetian concept of cognitive obstacles. Suggests the use of computer-based environments to develop the concept of variable and offers research findings indicating that experiences working with variables in LOGO influences student…

Peer reviewedSutherland, Rosamund – For the Learning of Mathematics, 1993
Analyzes case study data of 10 low achieving students, ages 14-15, to examine the effects of participation in computer spreadsheet sessions on their understanding of mathematical symbols. Participation improved students' attitudes toward problem solving. (MDH)
