Turtle Programming
It can be easy to fall in to a routine of creating GeoGebra applets for your students to use as inquiry, assessment, or remediation; however, why not use GeoGebra as a programming tool to give students a better appreciation for and understanding of both the mathematics content and programming? Use this book as a vehicle to reach a better mathematical comprehension and provide a basic introduction of programming.

Programming Polygons
[size=150][b][size=200]Math Challenges:[/size][/b][/size]
1) Determine the perimeter for each regular polygon Max creates.
2) Determine the area for each regular polygon Max creates.
[size=200][b]Programming Challenges:[/b][/size]
1) Create and revise a copy of the program in which both the area and the perimeter are displayed when Max completes each regular polygon.
2a) Create and revise a copy of the program in which a second turtle creates a similar, regular polygon inscribed in the polygon which Max creates.[br][br]2b) Make the second turtle move in a clockwise direction.
3a) Create and revise a copy of the program in which Max creates a random regular polygon.[br][br]3b) Make the program choose each random polygon having 3, 4, 5,..., 10 sides exactly once before repeating a chosen polygon.
