Fractals Forever or Obvious and Hidden Order
Students discuss ways computers use properties of similar figures to generate scale models and create scenes. they describe patterns they have seen on a fern, pineapple, or pinecone. Students research Benoit mandebrot, H. von Koch and...

Patterns
In this college level algebra worksheet, students examine patterns, formulas that describe the pattern and determine the sum of an infinite pattern. The one page worksheet contains five questions. Answers are provided.
