• Work process: -To project and to realize a blog, through it, our students can communicate among them
• Expected results: -Our students can use the blog for inputing in it slides in ppt of geometric transformation theory, the fractal figures... read more-Our students can use the blog for inputing in it slides in ppt of geometric transformation theory, the fractal figures created by math software and above all fractal landscapes of our country hide
