A Giant Sierpinski's Triangle

Taken from http://paulbourke.net/fractals/gasket/
Today we'll face a challenge: we'll design a giant Sierpinski's Triangle made of all your individual ones. In order to construct such a figure, we have to organize the work:
  • Gather in groups of 4 or 5 people
  • Within your group you should draw a scheme of a giant Sierpinski's triangle using the 26 small triangles we built in class:
    • Take the measurements of one small triangle
    • Make a sketch of the big composition with all the measurements
    • How many small triangles will you use?
    • How long is the side and the height of the big triangle?
    • Will the big triangle fit in a wall of our school corredor?

The Sierpinski's triangle

Today we should sit in groups together. Group number 1 will start with the daily diary. Now that you know what a fractal is, let's start diving into it! One of the most popular Fractals is the Sierpinski's triangle. Are you ready to build a big one? Follow the instructions!
