Peer reviewedThompson, 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)

Peer reviewedBannon, Thomas J. – Mathematics Teacher, 1991
Discussed are several different transformations based on the generation of fractals including self-similar designs, the chaos game, the koch curve, and the Sierpinski Triangle. Three computer programs which illustrate these concepts are provided. (CW)
