Title: Teaching fractals to high school students Post by: pswanson on June 11, 2015, 07:47:13 PM Over the years I have had great deal of interest in the mathematics associated with the generation of fractals and also the presence of fractals in nature. Since I have retired, I have been looking at what has been taught about fractals in high school. I realize that prior courses in algebra, geometry, and perhaps trigonometry would most likely be needed. I would appreciate receiving comments or links to sites that pertain to the methods that have been or are being used to teach this topic.
