Koch Snowflake
Young scholars investigate Koch's Snowflake. For this geometry lesson, students identify the properties of creating Koch's snowflake. They solve problems dealing with fractals and patterns.
Curated OER
Fractals: Koch Snowflake
Students investigate the properties of Koch's snowflake. In this geometry lesson, students investigate fractals and patterns. They create Koch's snowflake using Cabri software.
Curated OER
The Dragon Curve Fractal
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.
Curated OER
Fractals Forever or Obvious and Hidden Order
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...

Fractals Lesson Plan
Students create fractals. In this lesson, students use a computer program to explore different types of fractals.
Curated OER
Fractal and the Dragon Curve
Students 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.
Curated OER
Snowflake Curve
Students develop an appreciation for complex structures in nature. They observe patterns in nature in relationship to the Real World. Students use observation skills to assist in problem solving. They show comprehension of the concepts...

Introduction to Fractals: Infinity, Self-Similarity and Recursion.
This instructional activity introduces students to the ideas involved in understanding fractals. They develop a sense of infinity, self-similarity and recursion and
Curated OER
Introduction to Fractals: Infinity, Self-Similarity and Recursion
Students think about several of the concepts from fractals, including recursion and self similarity. They use mathematical concepts of line segments, perimeter, area and infinity are used, and skill at pattern recognition is practiced.
