This example demonstrates the geometric phenomenon of constructing a fractal using optical illusion squares. It involves core mathematical concepts like fractal geometry, parallelogram, arithmetic, binomial distribution, circumcircle, and bar chart. The construction utilizes GeoGebra commands/objects such as Circle, Point, Polygon, Rotate, Line, Mirror, and PointIn. It is suitable for high school and above students exploring geometric transformations and fractal generation processes.
