Figure This!
With Your Family

As the pattern in the challenge continues, smaller copies of the first few figures repeat themselves. A similar effect occurs in some surprising places. For example, look at the front of a Cracker Jack™ box, or stand between two parallel mirrors and look at the images created. What patterns do you notice?

Design your own fractal pattern.
