It is geared towards a fifth grade mathematics class. You will need internet access in order to complete this WebQuest. Introduction Introduction Although all of the pictures from the previous slide look different, they are all fractals, which seems like a fitting name for these images of small broken pieces all put together. This WebQuest is developed to get a better understanding of what fractals are and what their purpose is in mathematics. Task Person 1: -Your task will be to focus on fractals and what they have to do with math. Person 2: -Your task will be to focus on the history behind fractals. Person 2 Process How long have fractals been around? Who is the “father of fractals” or in other words, who discovered fractals? Give a brief biography of him and show some examples of his work. Who are some other mathematicians who have worked with fractals? Give some examples of their work. Person 3 Process How are fractals used in mathematics? Where else are fractals present besides in mathematics? In what other fields besides math are fractals being used, and for what purpose? Person 4 Process Are fractals mathematics or are they art? Who are some people that have created fractals, and are they mathematicians or artists? What artistic tools are used to produce fractals? Find some examples of fractals that look like art work. Person 1 Process To what branch of mathematics do fractals belong? What mathematics and tools are needed to produce fractals? What Is self-similar in regards to fractals? Give some specific examples that apply for fractals. What is scaling in regards to fractals? Give some specific exampl
