December Turtle Tuesdays

This month we will explore several types of quadrilaterals: polygons with 4 sides and 4 vertices (corners).

We’ll explore rectangles, parallelograms, and trapezoids, plus a cube!

If you aren’t familiar with some of these commands, look them up in the Logo Learning Center.

For Logo users (Pro-Bot, InO-Bot, and Kinderlogo users can draw the basic design)

Can you create this design in two different ways?

Figure out how to draw it using (a) REPEAT and (b) STAMPRECT.

for Logo users

Here’s a secret (and new!) command to try: STAMPRECTC

It works in the same way as STAMPRECT, but keeps the turtle in the shape’s center.

for Logo, Pro-Bot, and InO-Bot users

Here are designs to try with parallelograms!

First, write a procedure to draw one. Then use it to create some complex designs.

for Logo, Pro-Bot, and InO-Bot users

Here is a cube, a three-dimensional shape with all sides of equal length.

Can you see that you can draw a cube using a square and a couple of parallelograms?

Then decorate it to be a holiday gift, in any way you want!
