In this site you will be using a program called Java to construct this special triangle. Sierpinski's triangle is an example of a fractal design. Scroll down and hit the info button for directions on how to use the program. The counter at the top left corner tells you which step (or iteration) you are on. Keep a record of the total number of triangles for each iteration. Make a spreadsheet to show your results, and try explain what the pattern is.
Good Luck!
