Abstract
This article describes how pre-service teachers explored fractal constructions using pictorial, numerical, symbolic and graphical representations while studying the topic geometric sequences in the Algebra unit of their mathematics course. By engaging with meaningful generalization tasks which required both explicit and recursive reasoning, they gained an insight into fractal geometry and also developed their algebraic thinking.
