3'd graders make 3D fractals!
Over 200 elementary school students from Los Lunas public schools gathered for a special fractal presentation, and learned an exciting hands-on activity. We taught the kids to make their own cutout fractal triangle cards, using just scissors, paper and glue. The kids LOVED it, and we’re eager to be sharing this activity with other kids and teachers.
Learn how to make fractal cutouts in the Fractivities section.
The students at the fractal presentation in Los Lunas were grades one to six. The students at Katherine Gallegos really loved it!
Our Gifted students loved working with fractals! Dr. Wolfe’s instruction and presentation was of critical content tying art, mathematics, and science together to intrigue our students toward discovery! Their newly found knowledge has led to further interest in the natural world!
