Proportional Reasoning
Section 5-4
| Activity Name | Activity Description |
|---|---|
| The Tortoise and Hare Race | Students step through the 'tortoise and hare' race in a short investigation of Zeno's paradox. The paradox is based on an assumption of proportional distance traveled by the racers. |
| Cantor's Comb | Students input a fractional parameter and view the geometric fractal patterns generated by repeatedly erasing the central portion of a line segment. |
| Sierpinski's Triangle | Students view a series of fractal patterns known as the Sierpinski's Triangle, created by repeatedly subdividing the area of a triangle into proportional sections. |
| Sierpinski's Carpet | Students view a series of fractal patterns known as the Sierpinski's Carpet, created by repeatedly subdividing the area of a square into proportional sections. Results can be compared to 'Another Hilbert Curve'. |
