Fractals are these crazy objects which stretch our understanding of shape and space, moving into the weird world of infinity. We will look at examples of fractals such as the Koch snowflake and the Sierpinski's triangle. We will talk about making fractals, and think about the various dimensions of a fractal. Does it make sense to talk about its dimensions? Can we call it a 2-dimensional or a 3-dimensional object? Look forward to stretching your imagination and playing with mathematics!
