ABOUT THE NEED TO STUDY FRACTAL GEOMETRY IN SECONDARY SCHOOL

Abstract

The article studies one of the most important and beautiful sections of modern geometry, such as fractal geometry and its teaching in secondary schools. Due to the difficulties of mastering theoretical knowledge, the article proposes to carry out the process of presenting theoretical material on the basis of practical justifications. Some of the main applications of fractal geometry are also considered. The difficulty of studying this material is primarily due to its versatility and the large number of imaginary objects. The article proposes the development of an elective course on fractal geometry, which is aimed at the formation of creative thinking among high school students. The methodological approach to teaching fractal geometry presented in the article was implemented in the educational process in geometry classes in Orenburg “MOAU Lyceum No. 3” as part of extracurricular activities as a tool that promotes the development of creative potential, visual and the associative thinking of schoolchildren.
