Learning outcome
By the end of the lesson you will:
• Understand the difference between term-to-term and position-to-term rules.
• Have derived the position-to-term rule for the number of edges and the length of each edge of the Von Koch Snowflake.
• Have made a discovery about the curious properties of the Von Koch snowflake.
