Project Fair

This week the 8th graders are continuing to work on the project fair project.  They are working on their Calder Mobile's in art and fractals in math.  We have created dragon fractals, Koch's Snowflakes, Sierpinski's Triangles, and we are in the process of creating a 3D Koch's Sierpinski's Triangle Snowflake.  I gave the class all the created triangles from years passed and told them to create any fractal design they wanted, as long as it displayed self similarity, and they came up with a great idea.  I can't wait for you all to see it at project fair.  It really highlights what a fractal is and shows how it is between a 2d and a 3d figure.  Really cool stuff.  After we finish creating the 3d fractal, we are going to create some questions that go along with the presentation for people not in class to try and answer.
