KOCHS SNOWFLAKE
Describe the
pattern.

Find the
sequence
composed of
the length of a
side at each
side. What is
the pattern?

Find the
sequence
composed of
the number of
sides at each
stage. What is
the pattern?

Find the
sequence
composed of
number of new
triangular
bumps added
at each stage.
What is the
pattern?

The pattern
adds in more
triangle corners
to each
segment.

The pattern
begins with a
triangle over
triangle and
begins having
smaller triangle
on the edges.

THE HILBERT CURVE

Describe the
pattern.

Find the sequence

composed of
individual line
segment lengths.
What is the pattern?

Find the sequence

composed of the
number of line
segments at each
stage. What is the
pattern?

Find the sequence

composed of total
combined line
segment lengths.
What is the pattern?

The pattern starts of

with a simple line
but then builds up
with square and
rectangle.

The pattern is made

up with squares and
rectangles and
brings up smallers
squares and
rectangle when
multiple.

ANOTHER HILBERT CURVE

Describe the pattern.

Find the sequence

composed of individual line
segments. What is the
pattern?

Find the sequence

composed of total
combined line segment
lengths. What is the

pattern?
The pattern beings to
create squares inside a
diamond.

The pattern in the end turns

into a diamond but it begins
with big squares and
rectangle however with
smaller squares in between.

Sierpinski's Triangle
Describe the
pattern.

Find the sequence

composed of the
number of triangles
at each stage. What
is the pattern?

Find the sequence

composed of the
length of a side at
each stage. What is
the pattern?

Find the sequence

composed of total
area colored in at
each stage. What is
the pattern?

The triangle is
basically what
happens though this
pattern. It get gets
smaller and smaller
in the triangle.

The triangle is
whole but beings to
have smaller
triangles between
the triangles.

is the pattern?

Find the sequence

composed of the
length of a side at
each stage. What is
the pattern?

Find the sequence

composed of total
area colored in at
each stage. What is
the pattern?

This pattern is
related to the
triangle however in
the square.

The pattern turns

into 32768 squares
inside a squares.
