This worksheet is for use with the lesson Algorithm Discovery with Venn Diagrams (http://www.shodor.org/interactivate/lessons/AlgorithmDiscovery/).
Students discover algorithms as they sort shapes into Venn diagrams. Then students compare the efficiency of their algorithms using box plots.
Fire Assessment (Activity)
Learn about estimation through modeling of a forest fire. This activity allows the user to burn a virtual forest, then estimate the number, the percent, or the fraction of trees burned. Fire Assessment is one of the Interactivate assessment explorers.
Students work step-by-step through the generation of a different Hilbert-like Curve (a fractal made from deforming a line by bending it), allowing them to explore number patterns in sequences and geometric properties of fractals.
This worksheet is for use with the Pattern Generator activity (http://www.shodor.org/interactivate/activities/PatternGenerator/).
Fractal Dimensions (Activity)
Determine the fractal dimensions of several line-deformation fractals. Input the scale factor and number of similar copies, and the dimension will be calculated. Fractal Dimensions is one of the Interactivate assessment explorers.
Infinity and Iteration (Discussion)
Discusses infinity, iterations and limits by referencing fractals and sequences.
This worksheet is for use with the Julia Sets activity (http://www.shodor.org/interactivate/activities/JuliaSets/).
This worksheet is for use with the Mixtures activity (http://www.shodor.org/interactivate/activities/Mixtures/).
Multi-Step Functions (Discussion)
Discusses the notion of composite functions as several "number machines" with the output of one machine becoming the input of another.
