Constructing a Conceptual Framework for Elementary Algebra through Logo Programming.

Noss, Richard

Educational Studies in Mathematics, v17 n4 p335-57 Nov 1986

This study, part of a longitudinal investigation, examined the kinds of thinking which children aged 10 and 11 could carry over from Logo instruction to an algebraic context. Interviews focused on their ability to construct meaningful symbolization for the concept of variable and to construct formalized algebraic rules. (MNS)
