What's New: Go, Logo!

Terrapin is pleased to announce the publication of Go, Logo! and Go, Logo! Solutions, the companion teacher manual, which offer a complete course in Logo programming with a strong emphasis on mathematics. Go, Logo! is targeted at middle school students but also works well with gifted upper elementary school students and for catch up high school work.

Go, Logo! works in a traditional classroom, for homeschooling, or in a tutoring situation. It weaves together narrative instruction with practice, exercises, and computations in workbook form. Go, Logo! provides a comprehensive course in computer programming concepts and a "how to" on Logo programming while introducing and reinforcing math and geometry skills. Go, Logo! Solutions, which contains all of the answers to the exercises in the student book, is the instructor's companion when using Go, Logo!.

Author Marla Weiss developed Go, Logo! over the course of eight years as a middle school math teacher and summer enrichment instructor. Go, Logo! embodies her broad experience using Logo to successfully challenge students to develop programming and math skills.

 

Terrapin will exhibit in Booth # 3714 at the National Educational Computing Conference in Washington, DC on June 28-July 1. Come by, say hello and try out Terrapin Logo, Bee-Bot, Pro-Bot, Crystal Rain Forest, and all Terrapin products.

Marla Weiss, author of Go, Logo! and Go, Logo! Solutions, will show and sign her new book. She will also present Go, Logo! at a NECC poster session on Wednesday, July 1 from 9:00-11:00 a.m.
