Summary
Pick a few numbers, draw some corresponding lines on grid paper, and you’ll end up with some interesting, looping math-y art!
- Students pick three small numbers and then draw lines with those lengths in clockwise order on grid paper. They'll experiment and look for patterns.
- Now they pick *more* than three small numbers and try again. Different numbers will generate differently shaped spirals. Encourage lots of experimenting!
- Using an online tool, students play with one graph, changing numbers as much as they'd like to find strange and interesting graphs.
