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 discuss ways computers use properties of similar figures to generate scale models and create scenes. they describe patterns they have seen on a fern, pineapple, or pinecone. Students research Benoit mandebrot, H. von Koch and the Koch Snowflake, fractals in nature, the Cesaro Cruve, and the Peano Curve. Full Review »
