Fractals exhibit recursion.

  • Recursion is the repeated application of a rule to a successive result.  In the case of fractals, this means that you continuously perform the same mathematical functions upon a shape at each level of scale.

This fractal toolkit is a project for Paulo Blikstein's Beyond Bits and Atoms: Designing Tools for On and Off-Line Learning class at Stanford University.  It was designed and built in the Transformative Learning Technologies Lab. 

EXPLORE FRACTAL MATH

STANFORD UNIVERSITY

A collection of resources for helping kids learn about fractals.  These resources have been curated specifically for middle and high school students.

A set of tutorials and activities for kids to explore the underlying mathematical concepts of fractals including iterated function systems, recursion, and self-similarity.
