Abstract

The purpose of this study is to provide an interdisciplinary approach to fractals within the traditional school curriculum. The proposed activities are expected to help teachers to provide a comprehensive and engaging learning experience for students that fosters deeper understanding, creativity, and connections within the sciences. Fractals are complex geometric shapes that are self-similar, and therefore exhibit similar patterns at every scale. They are created by repeating a simple process over and over. Fractals differ from traditional geometric shapes because they are non-regular, but are very common in nature, such as clouds, mountains, trees and snowflakes. Also fractals are impressive mathematical creations and can contribute a lot to the understanding of Junior High School mathematics because they could be fun and at the same time an exciting way to introduce many areas of mathematics and physics. By connecting fractals to different mathematical concepts and applications, Junior High School students can develop their problem-solving skills and gain a deeper appreciation for the beauty and complexity of mathematics.
