Introduction to Fractals: Infinity, Self-Similarity and Recursion.

Zoom in to reveal more of the same. The resource introduces the concept of self similarity. Using a simple example, the video—part of a larger playlist covering geometry concepts—illustrates the meaning of a self similarity figure.

Create similar triangles with a little altitude. A section of an extensive playlist on basic geometry discusses how an altitude of a right triangle creates similar triangles. Using the theorem, the presentation finds unknown side...

Build on your class' understanding of limits by exploring limits as x approaches infinity. The instructor explains how to find the limit by considering specific values. He then makes a connection to the graphical representation.

Investigate how similar and congruent figures compare. Learners understand congruent figures have congruent sides and angles, but similar figures only have congruent angles — their sides are proportional. After learning the...

By definition, a congruent shape remains similar, but similar shapes may or may not be congruent. Scholars watch a video explaining the sometimes-confusing concept. Practice problems ensure pupils demonstrate their understanding to...

Math whizzes work with angle sums and exterior angles to figure out the measure of other angles. This particular publication provides comprehensive support in the form of an anticipatory activity, questions designed to prompt discussion,...

Examine an exponential growth model. Using a fractal, learners calculate the perimeters of each stage. When comparing the consecutive perimeters, a pattern emerges. They use the pattern to build an equation and make conclusions.
