4: Using LOGO

patterns within circle

We drew different patterns which you get when you divide a circle up into equal sections. We then looked to see if the patterns were symmetrical or not. Some of them were really beautiful. 

creating a squre using LOGO
This animation shows how LOGO creates a square on the screen.

Our teacher explained that if we used a computer program called LOGO it would work in the same way that had planned our shapes on paper. Thwe computer would follow instructions and it would be the same as drawing the patterns with a ruler.

 

The command CS clears the monitor screen. FD stands for forwards, and RT stands for right turn. The numbers are units of length and dgrees of turn. By moving the turtle (or cursor) forwards and then right by 90 degree four times, it draws a square.
