Description
Fractals may or may not be a topic that you have considered studying with your class; however, this site, reviewed for grades 6-8 by Illuminations, is a comprehensive study of fractals for students and is designed in such a manner that students will find it interesting and easy to navigate. This whole unit Web site can be an exciting and fun way to explore various geometrical concepts. For example, while working with the Sierpinski Triangle, students are asked to work with similar triangles, equilateral triangles, and Pascal's Triangle. And, because fractals occur so commonly in nature and are available on the Internet, a real-world connection can be made Less
