Start by drawing an equilateral triangle as big as will fit on the page (20cm sides). Find themidpoint of each side with your ruler, and connect the midpoints to form an upside-downtriangle. Color this new triangle in with your pencil or a marker; think of it as being removed or cut out from the whole triangle. Repeat for the three smaller triangles that remain, then for thenine even-smaller triangles that remain after that, and so on! Draw through stage 4, completingthe chart as you go, then try to predict the numbers for stage 5!

Start by drawing a square as big as will fit on the page (20cm sides). Split each side into threeequal segments (i.e. measure and divide by three). This will split your large square into ninesmaller squares. Color in the center square with your pencil or a marker; think of it as beingremoved or cut out from the whole square. Repeat for each of the eight smaller squares(surrounding the middle) that remain, then for the 64 even-smaller squares that remain after that,and so on. Draw through stage 3, completing the chart as you go, then try to predict the numbersfor stage 4!
