Assessing Grade 8 Elementary School Mathematics Curriculum and Textbooks within the Scope of Fractal Geometry.

Fractals are recently integrated into mathematics curriculums in Turkey. Because the integration process is successful, it is important that the studies of teaching fractals in the mathematics curriculum and textbooks should be assessed. The purpose of this study was to assess the grade 8 elementary school mathematics curriculum, textbooks and workbooks within the scope of fractal geometry. In this respect, in the first part of the study the basic characteristics of fractals were defined. And the other parts of the study, the studies in the mathematics curriculum and textbooks within the scope of fractals were evaluated and some suggestions were recommended. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
