- Students can use fabric paint and fabric markers to actually draw their fractal on their shirt.
- They could also create a pattern with a piece of cardboard and then use fabric paint to paint over the image
and have it displayed on the shirt.
III.TechnologyIntegration
- Have students research vegetable fractals.
- There are so many interesting images of fractals.
- Ask the students to select a few and write about why they chose the one that they did.
- Also, ask the students to explain, to the best of their ability, how the image is a fractal.
- What characteristics/qualities make it a fractal?
- Allow time for students to share their thinking when finished.
IV.NotesonAssessment
- When looking at student t-shirt designs, you are looking for a representation of a fractal.
- This can be assessed by looking at each t- shirt.
- Provide students with feedback when finished.
