A Square Share: Problem Solving with Squares.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Kenney, Margaret J.; Bezuszka, Stanley J. – Mathematics Teacher, 1984
Presents a collection of problems focusing on: (1) squares in arithmetic and number theory; (2) squares in geometry; (3) topics blending arithmetic and geometric aspects of squares; and (4) squares and Logo. A sample student worksheet (with answers) is included. (JN)

Computer as Mudpie.
Papert, Seymour – Classroom Computer Learning, 1984
Seymour Papert, creator of LOGO, explains how he came to create this important problem-solving language and how he intended it to be used to foster learning among children. What children can do with turtle geometry (indicated to be a natural approach to mathematics) is one topic considered. (Author/JN)

The Effect of LOGO on Increasing Systematic and Procedural Thinking according to Piaget's Theory of Intellectual Development and on Its Ability to Teach Geometric Concepts to Young Children.
Rieber, Lloyd P. – 1983
This study investigated the effectiveness of LOGO's turtle graphics in both providing a model of systematic thought and in teaching simple geometry to young children in the second grade. The treatment given to 25 second grade students in the experimental group consisted of programming with LOGO's turtle graphics using four Apple II+…

Starting Apple LOGO, Parts 1, 2 and Task Cards--Level S.
Ellis, Carol; McDaniel, Nan – 1984
This unit is designed to acquaint elementary students with the way a computer operates and the way people communicate with computers. The format of the unit was designed so that the instruction can be provided by the classroom teacher. The lessons are constructed so that, with some teacher guidance, the students can work through them step by step.…

Introduction to Apple LOGO, Parts 1, 2, 3 and Task Cards--Level I.
Ellis, Carol; McDaniel, Nan – 1984
This series of units is designed to help middle, junior high, and high school students use LOGO computer language as a tool to explore concepts in geometry, estimation and problem solving. The format of the unit was designed so that the instruction can be provided by the classroom teacher. The lessons are constructed so that, with some teacher…

The Effect of Logo on Young Children.
Rieber, Lloyd P. – 1986
This study was conducted to determine whether young children, given the experience of Logo programming, would acquire problem-solving skills and be able to transfer those skills to other areas. The study also investigated Logo's effectiveness in teaching certain fundamental geometric concepts to children who were supposedly not developmentally…

Solving Structured Geometric Tasks on the Computer: The Role of Feedback in Generating Strategies.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Hillel, Joel; And Others – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 1989
Described is a year-long study of the way a group of six 12-year-old children went about solving a special class of geometric problems using a computer and a limited set of LOGO programing tools. Examines solution strategies deciding whether those strategies led to insights about mathematical relations. (Author/MVL)
