Fractals, geometry, math education, art
- teaching tessellations in art and math, by teaching artist George Woideck, for teachers.
- geometric math art with wooden shape blocks
- geometric abstraction- abstract art using simple geometric form in non-illusionistic space
- using fractals to teach math to elementary level children
- recursive equations
- used to teach proportional reasoning

Elementary Mathematic Concepts found in Fractals
- similar shapes (geometry)
- similar polygons in fractals all have congruent corresponding angles and proportional corresponding sides.
- the shape is made of smaller copies of itself. The copies are similar to the whole: same shape but different size.
- fractions and multiples
- each fragmented geometric shape is either a fraction or a multiple of the original shape
- rotation
- concept of infinity
- pattern making, repetition
- the idea of repeating patterns on smaller scales
