Many educators equate Logo with old-fashioned turtle graphics or suggest that Logo is for the youngest of children. Neither of these beliefs is true. Although traditional turtle graphics continues to be a rich laboratory in which students construct geometric knowledge, Logo is flexible enough to explore the entire mathematical spectrum.
Logo continues to satisfy the claim that it has no threshold and no ceiling.
Best of all, Logo provides a context in which children are motivated to solve problems and express themselves. While it may seem obvious to assert that computers are powerful computational devices, their impact on K-12 mathematics education has been minimal. Whole language is possible because we live in a world surrounded by words we can manipulate, analyze and combine in infinite ways. In rich Logo projects the computer becomes an object to think with - a partner in your thinking that mediates an ongoing conversation with yourself. The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics recognizes Logo as a software environment that can assist schools in meeting the goals for the improvement of mathematics education.
