 Fabulous Flakes

It is amazing that in maths we have been creating snowflakes using the rules of probability.  By recognising common snowflake centres and spokes a mathematical equivalent is drawn.  Each shape is given the same chance of appearing when rolling a dice. The rules of probability mean that each snowflake will have a different pattern.

 

Click on the coloured snowflakes below to see how they were created.  You can save the Word document, make changes and create one yourself.
