Students describe the behavior of a fractal known as the Sierpinski triangle (S); develop a deterministic construction of S; become familiar with a self-similar object (a fractal) by playing The Chaos Game and determine an algorithm for the fractal. Full Review »

Students explore fractals and draw fractal curves. To assist in remembering the methods, they sing a song about fractals, watch a video, and create images of fractals on dot paper. Students observe and discuss a comic strip about fractals, complete a quiz, and explain the problem solving process. Full Review »
