Gives an introduction to the concept of a logarithms and shows how logs can be used to calculate fractal dimension.
Koch's Snowflake (Activity)
Step through the generation of the Koch Snowflake -- a fractal made from deforming the sides of a triangle, and explore number patterns in sequences and geometric properties of fractals.
Estimator Four (Activity)
Play a "Connect-Four" style game, earning a game piece each time you answer an estimation question correctly. This game asks the players to estimate the answer to addition, multiplication, and percentage questions. Choose difficulty level, question types, and time. Estimator Four is one of the Interactivate assessment games.
Introduces students to the idea of finding number patterns in the generation of several different types of fractals.

This worksheet is for use with the Caesar Cipher III activity (http://www.shodor.org/interactivate/activities/CaesarCipherThree/).
Dimension and Scale (Discussion)
Discusses fractal dimension, how that dimension relates to scale, and the formula needed to calculate the fractal dimension of an object.
Outlines the approach to building fractals by cutting out portions of plane figures.
