Freeman, Herbert – 1969
The final report of a two-year study concerned with the digital-computer processing of graphical data. Five separate investigations carried out under this study are described briefly, and a detailed bibliography, complete with abstracts, is included in which are listed the technical papers and reports published during the period of this program.…

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)

LEVIN, GERALD R. – 1961
THE PURPOSE WAS THE DISCOVERY AND EVALUATION OF GENERAL PROGRAMING PRINCIPLES FOR TEACHING MACHINES. THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SELF-INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAM IN INFORMAL GEOMETRY FOR SECOND-GRADERS WAS THE FIRST STEP OF THE PROCEDURE. THE 170-ITEM PROGRAM CONSISTED OF FIVE UNITS DESIGNED (1) TO FAMILIARIZE THE CHILD WITH MACHINE OPERATION AND (2) TO TEACH…

Papert, Seymour – International Journal of Mathematics Education, 1972
Presents results of action research which had the goal of producing concepts and topics that would permit students to get creatively engaged in mathematical analysis and problem solving. The method used, called Turtle Geometry,'' is concerned with programming a moving point to generate geometric forms. (DT)

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)

Peer reviewedAnderson, John R.; And Others – Science, 1985
Cognitive psychology, artificial intelligence, and computer technology have advanced so much that it is feasible to build computer systems that are as effective as intelligent human tutors. Computer tutors have been developed for teaching students to do proofs in geometry and to write computer programs in the LISP language. (JN)
