Fractals for the Classroom : Strategic Activities

This second volume of practical activities is designed to develop a basic mathematical understanding of fractals.

Concepts addressed include self-similarity, the chaos game and complexity as it relates to fractal dimension.

The book is accompanied by a slide pack of fractal images.

The material has been put together with reference to the National Council for Teachers of Mathematics Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics.

Where appropriate, the activities can be used in conjunction with a graphics calculator.
