Yes, I do since 1985. Kids of the age of 9 years can LOGO very well!
But we have a problem of organizing things (we have 3 computers for
240 children).
Here in the Netherlands we have a very good version of LOGO for
Windows: SUPERLOGO. It's supported by a very good book from which
children can learn LOGO themselves.
I think the big contribution to classroom learning is that the kids
have a concrete problem to discuss about. They learn to talk to the
point.
And of course there will be a bit of logical thinking. But I can't
prove it helps them with their maths.
I hope my English is good enough for you to read my reply.
