LOGO-L> LOGO and Maths

["Craig Kerwin" <cdkerwin@icr.com.au>]

Hello colleagues.

I have been using LOGO for many activities over the last few years, 
but I have recently been asked to assist some Junior Maths teachers 
to use LOGO in the junior maths curriculum.

I have not had much experience with this level of maths teaching, so, 
while I can understand the LOGO side of things, am not sure how the 
LOGO can be implemented with some of the junior maths topics.

I wonder if anyone can suggest some ways LOGO can be used to focus on 
these topics:

* congruency
* scientific notation
* trigonometry (using TAN)
* pythagoras
* algebra (power notation)

I use MicroWorlds for Windows 95, but realise the LOGO code is 
similar across the board. If anyone is able to assist with some ideas 
or some procedures, I would be greatly appreciative.

Thank you.

Craig
