Fractal Geometry in Elementary School Mathematics.
Vacc, Nancy Nesbitt
Journal of Mathematical Behavior, v11 n3 p279-89 Sep 1992
Reports a case study to evaluate whether basic concepts of fractal geometry are teachable to elementary school children and to determine the effectiveness of having an elementary school student present a lesson to inservice and preservice teachers. Concludes that simple concepts of fractal geometry appear appropriate for the elementary school mathematics curriculum. (MDH)
