Peer reviewedFrazier, Max K. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1989
Described is a study in which seventh graders used LOGO in place of receiving geometry instruction. It was hypothesized that angle recognition estimation and construction would be higher for the LOGO group. Reports that a difference was found favoring the LOGO group. Provides a short history of the LOGO language. (MVL)

Corbosiero, Louis J., Jr. – 1986
This document provides activities that teach seventh grade geometric concepts by using the LOGO programming language. The entire package consists of the printed text and an accompanying diskette which is integral to the program. The package contains 17 lessons; all but two of the activities contain a pre-activity reading, a pre-activity written…
