| Activity Name | Activity Description |
|---|---|
| Angles | The applet draws two pair of parallel lines and labels the 16 angles created by their respective intersections. Students answer questions regarding the description (acute,obtuse) of two angles and their relative relationship (vertical, adjacent, alternate interior/exterior). |
| Hilbert Curve Generator | Students view a series of fractal Hilbert Curve patterns, created by a repeated process of replacing individual line segments with proportionally scaled copies of the original line segment. |
| Another Hilbert Curve Generator | Students view a series of fractal patterns similar to the Hilbert Curve, created by a repeated process of replacing individual line segments with proportionally scaled copies of the original line segment. The resulting patterns can be compared to those of the fractal, "Sierpinski Carpet." |
| Koch's Snowflake | Students view a series of fractal patterns known as the Koch Snowflake, created by a repeated process of replacing individual line segments with proportionally scaled copies of the original modified segment. |
| Sierpinski's Triangle | Students view a series of fractal patterns known as Sierpinski's Triangle, created by repeatedly subdividing the area of a triangle into proportional similar triangles. |
| Sierpinski's Carpet | Students view a series of fractal patterns known as Sierpinski's Carpet, created by repeatedly subdividing the area of a square into proportional similar square sections. Results can be compared to 'Another Hilbert Curve'. |
| Flake Maker | Students generate line fractal patterns by manipulating point geometry and specifying line deformation rules. Individual line segments are created as proportionally scaled copies of the original specified line segment. |
