"A college-level math text for serious mathematicians and fans of recreational mathematics. Recently, I read again the book Turtle Geometry: The Computer as a Medium for Exploring Mathematics by Harold Abelson and Andrea diSessa. Turtle Geometry: The Computer as a Medium for Exploring. Exploring the World of Artificial. Logo provides a powerful medium for rich mathematical explorations and problem solving while providing a context in which students may fall in love with the beauty of mathematics. In this first example, I ordered a GEOOBJECT object type, which is similar to a Papert's 'Geometry Turtle', with the shape of a plane. Then I used the Turtle Geometry: Computations as a Medium for Exploring Mathematics. Although dated in the 1980s, it is still one of my favorite books. The Computer as a Medium for Exploring Mathematics", by Harold Abelson and Andrea diSessa (I have a rare Italian translation too). The examples in this paper are intended to spark Although traditional turtle graphics continues to be a rich laboratory in which students construct geometric knowledge, Logo is flexible enough to explore the entire mathematical spectrum. Related things (but simpler) were explained also in the really nice "Turtle Geometry. Turtle Geometry: The Computer as a Medium for Exploring Mathematics (Artificial Intelligence). Research activity exploring those.
