I thought the material beautiful and interesting

Technical Remarks:

the hands on with the animator made it fun and educational

Used in course? Yes

Time spent reviewing site: 30 min

This applet explains the leap fractal game and lets you play it. This can be
used to teach estimation skills in visualization plus strategy. The tantalizing
question that remains open is: Can you find the algorithm that always gets the
smallest number of moves?
