Learning mathematics with technology: Young children’s understanding of paths and measurement

Geo-Logo was designed as an environment to support the learning of geometry. The research reported in this paper concerns the performance and strategies of children working in one of three gender pairs (girls, boys, and boy/girl) onGeo-Logo tasks that form a complete curriculum teaching and learning sequence. The case studies presented reveal that the children show a high level of engagement and learning in theGeo-Logo environment. They engage in complex problem-solving which requires them to integrate previously acquired mathematical knowledge with strategies, in a new and dynamic way.
