Rowe, Neil – Creative Computing, 1979
Examples are given of computer activities in analytic geometry. (MK)
Descriptors: Analytic Geometry, Computer Oriented Programs, Computer Programs, Computers
Peer reviewedClason, Robert G. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1991
A mult tile is a set of polygons each of which can be dissected into smaller polygons similar to the original set of polygons. Using a recursive LOGO method that requires solutions to various geometry and trigonometry problems, dissections of mult tiles are carried out repeatedly to produce tile patterns. (MDH)

Peer reviewedBackhouse, John K. – Mathematics in School, 1986
Presents a computer program written in BBC BASIC to create fractal patterns. Discusses program modifications and gives graphic examples of changes. (JM)
Descriptors: Computer Graphics, Courseware, Fractals, Geometry
Peer reviewedThomas, Eleanor M.; Thomas, Rex A. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1984
Following a brief introduction to the LOGO programing language, describes its use in a sixth-grade classroom. The situations described illustrate students' growth while the choice of the situations illustrates teachers' growth. (JN)
Descriptors: Elementary School Mathematics, Geometry, Grade 6, Intermediate Grades
Peer reviewedDanner, Donald – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1984
Presents three activities in which students learn about and construct star polygons using the LOGO programing lanaguage. A list of suggested extension activities is included. (JN)
Descriptors: Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Geometry, Learning Activities
Piele, Donald T. – Creative Computing, 1982
Four stages of problem solving are believed to occur in programing. Spirolaterals are discussed as specific examples of programing activity that have mathematical and programing interest. The BASIC programing language is used on the Apple II computer to provide examples of possible solutions to the problems posed. (MP)
Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Geometric Concepts, Geometric Constructions, Geometry
Peer reviewedBrown, Ken – Mathematics in School, 1986
Describes investigations involving data acquisition and analysis using microcomputers running the LOGO programing language. Provides new primitives to add to LOGO to access information from the analog to digital converter of a BBC microcomputer, giving samples of student results. (JM)
Descriptors: Computers, Data Analysis, Data Collection, Geometry
Peer reviewedHillel, 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
Peer reviewedEng, Marita; Casey, John – Mathematics Teacher, 1983
Explorations of Pascal's triangle through computer programming are described. Programming offers different methods and techniques that enrich the topic. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Programs, Learning Activities, Mathematical Enrichment, Mathematics Instruction
Peer reviewedAustin, Joe Dan – Mathematics and Computer Education, 1990
Shows a series of Euclidean equations using the Euclidean algorithm to get the greatest common divisor of two integers. Describes the use of the equations to generate a series of circles. Discusses computer generation of Euclidean circles and provides a BASIC program. (YP)

Peer reviewedAieta, 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
Peer reviewedYates, Daniel S. – Mathematics Teacher, 1985
Activities focus on the use of computers as an instructional tool. Three worksheets provide experiences with: perimeter and areas of squares; area of parallelograms and triangles; and properties of triangles. A Logo computer program is included. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Software, Geometric Concepts, Instructional Materials, Learning Activities
Peer reviewedSmith, Richard L., Comp. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1984
Presented is an annotated list of 24 references on the LOGO programing language. The information provided is intended for classroom teachers and for researchers. Topics include use of the language in classroom situations, evaluation of a LOGO training program, the educational utility of LOGO, and others. (JN)
