Books like Turtle geometry by Harold Abelson


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, who also authored Mindstorms. The Logo Group has conducted extensive work with preschool children, high school students, and university undergraduates.
