Children's Learning in a Computer Microworld for Transformation Geometry.
Edwards, Laurie D.
Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, v22 n2 p122-37 Mar 1991
Twelve middle school students, working in pairs, used a computer microworld to explore introductory geometric transformational concepts. Despite a tendency for symbolic overgeneralization, the students were able to use visual feedback from the microworld and discussions with partners to correct their own mistakes. (Author/JJK)
