coastline

Fractal Coastline - High school students investigate measuring a coastline with different "steps" much like the exhibit module does.
Fractal Coastline Applet - Ain't technology great? Four years ago I couldn't dream this activity would be this accessible......... UPDATE! This link does not work and I can't find a good replacement. A lot of people are going to be disappointed. Ithink my head's going to implode in frustration. Let me know if you know where this applet has gone.

periodic tiling

Wallpaper Groups - seventeen ways to tile the plane; this is not about interior decorating in aircraft!

Investigating Patterns: Symmetry and Tessellations - fabulous page of descriptions and links for teachers of kids; Easter Eggs, car wheels, quilts, snowflakes, oregami - rotational, strip and planar symmetries. This page is so good, I feel redundant right now. update: Now that she's written a book, the stuff may be harder to find for free on the web.

Coolmath.com - Karen's Tessellation Page - One of the many Coolmath pages for kids. This explains tessellations.

Java Kali Home Page- "Kali is a program that lets you draw symmetrical patterns based on any of the 17 wallpaper groups, as well as several frieze and rosette groups."
