Point out to students how the<br />

Koch snowflake is beginning to<br />

approximate a curve, but is still<br />

constructed of straight lines.<br />

Students will think that the area<br />

of the Koch Snowflake will not<br />

converge since it appears as if<br />

new area is being added to the<br />

figure with each iteration.<br />

To make sure that students<br />

understand the behavior of the<br />

Koch snowflake, have them<br />

construct and fill out a table<br />

similar to one shown below:<br />
