Children's Inductive Thinking during Intrinsic and Euclidean Geometrical Activities in a Computer Programming Environment.

Kynigos, Chronis

Educational Studies in Mathematics, v24 n2 p177-97 1993

Used 2 12-year-old children to investigate deductive and inductive reasoning in plane geometry. A LOGO microworld was programmed to measure distances and turns relative to points on the plane. Learning environments like this may enhance formation of inductive geometrical understandings. (Contains 44 references.) (LDR)
