Peer reviewedShilgalis, Thomas W. – Mathematics Teacher, 1982
A program designed in BASIC for the Apple II computer that uses high resolution graphics to display geometric transformations is described. The four distance-preserving transformations included are translations, rotations, reflections, and glide-reflections. Shape-preserving dilations are also covered. (MP)

Dennis, J. Richard – 1976
Exercises for high school students are presented which entail designing computer programs to enable the computer to identify a geometrical figure as a specific type of triangle or quadrilateral, given its 2-dimensional coordinates. Computer programming skills required are not sophisticated, but a solution requires careful analysis of necessary and…
