¡Explorando fractales! Patrones en el Triángulo de Sierpinski y el Polvo de Cantor

Students will explore the geometric fractals called Sierpinski's Triangle and Cantor's Dust through hands-on activities, teacher guided discussion and group participation.  

Topics Include:
Introduction to Fractals and Fractal Geometry
Recursive Processes for creating Cantor's Dust and Sierpinski's Triangle
Numerical patterns found in the two fractals
Writing equations/functions to represent numerical patterns
Connections to real-world fractals.

Students are expected to be able to find the area of a triangle, work with radicals and have a basic understanding of how to look for patterns in numerical sequences.  Students should have at least a Pre-Algebra background.

Follow-up activities will be suggested.
