Run several stages of the Sierpinski's Triangle and answer the following questions:
  • Write down for each Stage:
    • Number of Shaded Triangles
    • Area of one Shaded Triangle
    • Total Shaded Area
  • What patterns do you see in the numbers for the number of shaded triangles? Can you build a formula for the number of shaded triangles at the n-th stage?
  • What patterns do you see in the numbers for the area of one shaded triangle? Can you build a formula for the area of one shaded triangle at the n-th stage?
  • What patterns do you see in the numbers for the total shaded area? Can you build a formula for the total area at the n-th stage?
