Peer reviewedBall, Derek – Computer Education, 1984
PROLOG is a relatively new programing language with graphics capability. In addition, the language has a declarative rather than a procedural structure. Two programs illustrating use of the language in the mathematics classroom are presented. (JN)

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…

Peer reviewedNiess, Margaret L. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1988
Considers activities that use LOGO to slide, turn, and flip the "turtle." Uses non-LOGO tools such as cutouts, pattern blocks, and tangrams to enhance the motion work. Provides examples and programs with explanations. (MVL)

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)

Peer reviewedMandell, Alan – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1989
Provides a software program for determining PI to the 15th place after the decimal. Explores the history of determining the value of PI from Archimedes to present computer methods. Investigates Wallis's, Liebniz's, and Buffon's methods. Written for Tandy GW-BASIC (IBM compatible) with 384K. Suggestions for Apple II's are given. (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…
