Fractivities


Fractivities are fun projects that teach the concepts of fractals. Some of them are in-class activities, some are on the computer and can be done individually either at home or in the classroom, and some involve studying actual fractals in nature.

  1. Hi there
    I am putting together a lesson to teach teachers of grade 3-6 students (8-11 year olds in the UK) how to introduce fractal related activities into their teaching. I am really impressed with your 3 activities, they are quite excellent, thankyou very much.
    best wishes
