Assessing Grade 8 Elementary School Mathematics Curriculum and Textbooks within the Scope of Fractal Geometry

Fatih KARAKUŞ, Adnan BAKİ.




Abstract

Fractals are recently integrated into mathematics curriculums in Turkey. Because the integration
process is successful, it is important that the studies of teaching fractals in the mathematics curriculum and
textbooks should be assessed. The purpose of this study was to assess the grade 8 elementary school
mathematics curriculum, textbooks and workbooks within the scope of fractal geometry. In this respect, in the
first part of the study the basic characteristics of fractals were defined. And the other parts of the study, the
studies in the mathematics curriculum and textbooks within the scope of fractals were evaluated and some
suggestions were recommended.

Key words: Fractal geometry, teaching fractals, mathematics curriculum.
