Abstract
In this paper we present a school project where students constructed three-dimensional pyramids using the Logo programming language, complemented with paper-and-pencil, dynamic geometry (Cabri) and spreadsheet (Excel) investigations. The aim of this project was to give, through a fun and meaningful way, and using a constructionist approach, junior secondary students (12-14 year olds), early access to advanced topics such the applications of the Pythagorean Theorem and of trigonometric functions, as well as threedimensional work, while at the same time covering one of the themes included in the curriculum for this age-group (the pyramid). © 2009 IFIP International Federation for Information Processing.
