Abstract
The author wrote and instituted a microcomputer software program to increase the ability of secondary students to identify solid figures of geometry. A target group of twelve Algebra I students from an urban high school was established to implement the program. The success of the program was measured by comparing the statistics of a pre and posttest. The results indicated that increased level of indent if identification was found by the target group target using the microcomputer program.
