Abstract

Translate

Mathematics activities involving the construction of spirolaterals are presented in this issue of "Student Math Notes." Spirolaterals are figures in which sequences of line segments of differing lengths, connected by angles of a constant size, are drawn repeatedly to create a geometric design. The activities presented involve the construction of various spirolaterals using square dot paper, triangular (isometric) dot paper, and the LOGO programming language. (DC)
