• Paper-Folding-Fractals is a classroom teaching or personal learning software tool.  It makes a great introductory lesson to fractals.  Simple, step-by-step processes of paper folding can give rise to infinite verities of fractals.  The user learns what fractals are, and how they are created.  Then the user can explore the fractal results of simple (or complex) folding patterns. There are trillions of different fractals that can be formed. Most of these fractals have not yet been constructed, and no one knows what they will look like.

• The Fractal Microscope is an interactive tool designed by the Education Group at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) for exploring the Mandelbrot set and other fractal patterns. By combining supercomputing and networks with the simple interface of a Macintosh or X-Windows workstation, students and teachers from all grade levels can engage in discovery-based exploration. The program is designed to run in conjunction with NCSA imaging tools such as DataScope and Collage. With this program students can enjoy the art of mathematics as they master the science of mathematics. This focus can help one address a wide variety of topics in the K-12 curriculum including scientific notation, coordinate systems and graphing, number systems, convergence, divergence, and self-similarity.

• You can create your own fractal by a simple input of random numbers and functions and see your image displayed on this site with your name on it. It's a collaboration between us. You don't need to know any math and it's free. http://www.donarcher.com/
  
  
• Still and moving pictures of mathematical fractals, and a FAQ are provided at this archive.
