New & improved fractal tool!

From NCTM: Celebrate the birthday of Mandelbrot, the father of fractal geometry, this month by exploring our new and improved fractal tool. Play with the Koch snowflake, a fractal tree, a reduced square, and the Sierpinksi triangle. As you progress through the stages, see what patterns you can observe in the images created and the table of values. Look for more changes to this tool in the near future, as we allow you to create your own fractals.


Be sure to check out the rest of the Illuminations website full of standards based activities and lesson plans.
