52 Weeks of Math Activities Week 17: Sierpinski in 3D Building Toys This week, break out your blocks (or whatever building toy you enjoy). We are building a Sierpinski cube (Menger Sponge) or Sierpinski tetrahedron. I would also encourage learners to create their own shape and expand on it to create a self-similar sculpture or fractal (think about what each iteration would
52 Weeks of Math Activities Week 9: Dragon Curve The Dragon Curve is a fractal that is well explained in this numberphile video. This week learners can create a dragon curve with a strip of paper, Lux Blox, Python programing, Legos or toothpicks. Paper: For paper, I would suggest using a strip of thin paper. Thicker paper doesn’t
52 Weeks of Math Activities Week 6: Randomness using pi This week, learners will create a work of art using pi. The goal here is not to understand pi, but to play with randomness. We will dive into the ratio of circumference and diameter another week. Pi’s decimals go on forever and without a pattern. Here are some ideas
