fractal iterations

The diagrams below represent the stages involved in constructing a fractal, an infinite pattern where the initial stage is visible in smaller pieces of the image. Each step in the process is called an iteration.

Initial stage

1st iteration

2nd iteration

Draw the 3rd iteration and describe how you made it.

Extensions
