Download or read book Turtle Geometry written by Harold Abelson and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 1986-07-09 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Turtle Geometry presents an innovative program of mathematical discovery that demonstrates how the effective use of personal computers can profoundly change the nature of a student's contact with mathematics. Using this book and a few simple computer programs, students can explore the properties of space by following an imaginary turtle across the screen. The concept of turtle geometry grew out of the Logo Group at MIT. Directed by Seymour Papert, author of Mindstorms, this group has done extensive work with preschool children, high school students and university undergraduates.
