Age 11 to 18 Challenge Level:
More Logo for beginners. Learn to calculate exterior angles and draw regular polygons using procedures and variables.
LOGO Challenge - Recollection
Age 11 to 18 Challenge Level:
Several procedures to think about but there are several things you can do to help yourself such as breaking the procedures down stepwise (rather than into smaller peices) What does the first line do?. . . .

First Forward Into Logo 8: More about Variables
Age 11 to 18 Challenge Level:
Write a Logo program, putting in variables, and see the effect when you change the variables.
First Forward Into Logo 6: Variables and Procedures
Age 11 to 18 Challenge Level:
Learn to write procedures and build them into Logo programs. Learn to use variables.

Age 11 to 18
Logo helps us to understand gradients of lines and why Muggles Magic is not magic but mathematics. See the problem Muggles magic.
Making Moiré Patterns
Age 11 to 18 Challenge Level:
Moiré patterns are intriguing interference patterns. Create your own beautiful examples using LOGO!
Programming: Moiré Patterns
Age 11 to 16
We need computer programmers! Logo is a great entry-level programming language - and you can create stunning graphics while you learn.
Trees and Friezes
Age 11 to 14 Challenge Level:
This problem is based on the idea of building patterns using transformations.

This is the second in a twelve part introduction to Logo for beginners. In this part you learn to draw polygons.
LOGO Challenge 11 - More on Circles
Age 11 to 16 Challenge Level:
Thinking of circles as polygons with an infinite number of sides - but how does this help us with our understanding of the circumference of circle as pi x d? This challenge investigates. . . .
LOGO Challenge 12 - Concentric Circles
Age 11 to 16 Challenge Level:
Can you reproduce the design comprising a series of concentric circles? Test your understanding of the realtionship betwwn the circumference and diameter of a circle.
LOGO Challenge 10 - Circles
Age 11 to 16 Challenge Level:
In LOGO circles can be described in terms of polygons with an infinite (in this case large number) of sides - investigate this definition further.
