Koch Curve Students use hexagonal graph paper to create a Koch Curve fractal, by repeating a simple substitution process. They fill out a table to discover the pattern relating the number of segments to the total length of the curve. Finally, connections are drawn between this geometric fractal and naturally occurring fractal patterns such as snowflakes and coastlines.
