Understand similarity in terms of similarity transformations
Lessons (3)
Outlines the approach to playing the chaos game and how it relates to geometric fractals.
Introduces students to the ideas involved in understanding fractals.
Introduces students to the idea of finding number patterns in the generation of several different types of fractals.
Activities (2)
Step through the generation of the Koch Snowflake -- a fractal made from deforming the sides of a triangle, and explore number patterns in sequences and geometric properties of fractals.
Play the Chaos Game by experimenting with probabilities. Learn about an apparently random process with a not-so-random, geometric fractal result.
