POW 16: Spiralaterals Problem Statement: Spiralaterals-a spiralateral is a sequence of numbers that forms a pattern or a spiral like shape. Spiralaterals can form a complete spiral-like shape or it could form an open spiral that never recrosses itself or return to it ’s original starting point. To make a spiralateral: Each spiralateral is based on a sequence of numbers.To draw the spiralateral‚ you need to choose a starting point. The starting point is always "up" on

A spiralateral is a series of line segments that form a shape that resembles a spiral. You make spiralaterals by picking a spot on a piece of graph paper to be the starting point of the spiralateral. Then take a set of three numbers and using that point go up the first number of squares on the graph paper‚ go right the second number of squares‚ down the third number of squares and left the first number of squares going in that pattern until the line meets the starting point. So if you were using

Problem Statement: A spiralateral is a sequence of line segments that form a spiral like shape. To draw one you simply choose a starting point‚ and draw a line the number of units that’s first in your sequence. Always draw the first segment towards the top of your paper. Then make a clockwise 90 degree turn and draw a segment that is as long as the second number in your sequence. Continue to complete your sequence. Some spiralaterals end at their starting point where as others have no end‚ this

Problem Statement: When there is a sequence of line segments that forms a spiral-like shape it is known as a spiralateral. This assignment is to explore these spiralaterals and come to up with some rules about them and state the conclusions. Spiralaterals are usually drawn on pieces of graph paper. They are based on a sequence of numbers that can be of any length. To draw a spiralateral first pick a starting point anywhere on the paper. Then‚ going upward‚ you draw the first number in the sequence
