Fragile Knowledge of Angle in Turtle Geometry
Malcolm Simmons; Peter Cope
Educational Studies in Mathematics Vol. 21, No. 4 (1990) pp. 375–82
Described is an investigation into how the use of LOGO programing language affects children's basic knowledge of an angle. Findings indicate that children make erroneous adjustments to their conceptual knowledge of angle to accommodate the results...

Some Effects of Limited Feedback on Performance and Problem-Solving Strategy in a Logo Microworld
Peter Cope; Malcolm Simmons
Journal of Educational Psychology Vol. 86, No. 3 (1994) pp. 368–79
The effects of limiting the availability of immediate feedback while using LOGO were studied for 48 students aged 9 to 11 solving rotation problems. Limiting feedback reduced the incidence of trial and error strategies, and higher level problem...
