Shodor Interactivate: Lesson: Finding Patterns in Fractals

This video again looks at finding the algebraic pattern in sequences. In the example, we are looking at a figure where a number of toothpicks (or lines) are added each time. You need to find how many toothpicks will be in the 50th...

This video looks again at finding the algebraic pattern in sequences. In the example, we are looking at a figure where several toothpicks (or lines) are added each time, and you need to find how many toothpicks will be in the 50th...

Research patterns in nature which illustrate biological and mathematical concepts. Your class will discover and explore aspects of fractals, Fibonaccis numbers, whale and butterfly migration patterns, whale identification, flower...

Students examine the patterns in Pascal's Triangle. In this recognizing lesson, students view a model of Pascal's Triangle and describe the patterns of the multiples. Students identify the shapes that are made within Pascal's Triangle.

Use the "Fractals and Chaos Game" game as a follow up to previous work on geometric fractals. Included are related activities.

For this lesson students will explore Julia sets and the Mandelbrot set. In the process they will learn about fractals and explore complex numbers and function iteration.

In this activity, the student can visually identify number patterns in Pascal's triangle by coloring multiples of a given number.

"The goal of this lesson is to introduce the concepts of mean, median and mode and to develop understanding and familiarity with these ideas." This lesson is provided by Shodor Education Foundation.

The lesson plan, with objectives, instructional activity outline, and a plotting-practice activity, examines impossible graphs.

The lesson plan, with objectives, instructional activity outline, and an interactive Venn diagram shape sorter, takes students through an examination of Venn diagrams.
