Students measure and predict the behavior of a fractal.  In this investigative lesson students divide into groups, and participate in an activity that includes drawing triangles and coloring vertices. 

Students make colorful triangles known as Sierpinski's Carpet, using colored pencils and paper.

In this college level algebra activity, students examine patterns, formulas that describe the pattern and determine the sum of an infinite pattern.  The one page activity contains five questions.  Answers are provided. 

Students define fractals and patterns. They explore how a seemingly random process can result in a pattern. Students practice probability and fractions skills by playing the chaos game online.

Students use fractals to analyze nature. In this geometry lesson, students work in groups using technology and math to communicate. They identify where in the real world fractal can be seen.

Pupils explore Fractal designs. In this geometry lesson, students observe the different polygons created in nature and relate it to math. They define polygons on planes and rotate polygons about a point.

Students identify the properties of a dragon curve. In this geometry lesson, students identify sequences and patterns as they solve fractals. They investigate patterns found in nature.

Students study seamounts and learn the importance of structures to species. In this ocean explorer lesson, students participate in an activity that teaches them how to modify a seamount so that they are more suitable for species. 

Students discuss the Chaos Theory and how it came into existence.They observe order and compare it to the randomness of chaos. The lesson features the playing of a game to reinforce concepts.

This lesson focuses on Pascal's Triangle, a number pyramid in which every cell is the sum of the two cells directly above. It contains all binomial coefficients, as well as many other number sequences and patterns.

Lesson plans and activities available in Spanish dealing with fractals. Some are also available in English. Activities are step by step and easy to understand. Included topics are the Koch Snowflake, Sierpinski's triangle, and Pascal's...

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson introduces students to the notion of Brownian motion and has students graph a sample Brownian particle. In Brownian motion, each "step" depends on the "steps" taken previously,...
