During their middle and early high school years, students generally finalise their attitude towards mathematics and their perception of themselves as students of mathematics, in terms of aptitude, motivation, interest, and competence. Therefore, giving them varied opportunities to foster a positive and successful approach to the study of…

Computers can be programmed to produce increasingly complex line drawings. Through programming activities students can learn the geometric principles involved. (SD)

Presents computer programs (Applesoft Basic) for: (1) 2-D rotation about any point through any angle; (2) matrix transformation for 2-D rotation; (3) 3-D translation; (4) 3-D rotation; and (5) hyperboloid rotated in 2-D space. Includes background information and sample output for the matrix transformation subroutines. (JN)

An algebra class activity of creating computer graphics by connecting a series of ordered number pairs with subsequent investigations involving the transformations of the functional relationship between the elements of those ordered pairs is presented. (JJK)

Described is a short program for teaching and learning about geometric transformations. The integration of geometry problem solving and BASIC programing is discussed. Applications of computer graphics are illustrated. (CW)

Presented is an educational game called "The Chaos Game" which produces complicated fractal images. Two basic computer programs are included. The production of fractal images by the Sierpinski gasket and the Chaos Game programs is discussed. (CW)

Argues that Turtle Geometry has a great deal to offer mathematics teaching and learning. Suggests that it helps develop general problem-solving strategies and encourages new approaches to teaching and learning. (PK)
