The Tower of Hanoi demonstrates the process of solving a complex problem through rotation and recursion. Key mathematical concepts include logic, exponential functions, and algebra. Construction involves GeoGebra commands such as Sequence, seqC, seqB, seqA, and others. Suitable for middle school students or math enthusiasts to learn geometric and logical thinking.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Sequence(Polygon[(2 - (2 * Element[seqA, i] / num), (4 * (Length[seqA] - i) / num)), (2 + (2 * Element[seqA, i] / num), (4 * (Length[seqA] - i) / num)), (2 + (2 * Element[seqA, i] / num), (4 * (Length[seqA] - i + 1) / num)), (2 - (2 * Element[seqA, i] / num), (4 * (Length[seqA] - i + 1) / num))], i, 1, Length[seqA]) → discA
  2. Sequence(Polygon[(12 - (2 * Element[seqC, i] / num), (4 * (Length[seqC] - i) / num)), (12 + (2 * Element[seqC, i] / num), (4 * (Length[seqC] - i) / num)), (12 + (2 * Element[seqC, i] / num), (4 * (Length[seqC] - i + 1) / num)), (12 - (2 * Element[seqC, i] / num), (4 * (Length[seqC] - i + 1) / num))], i, 1, Length[seqC]) → discC
  3. Sequence(Polygon[(7 - (2 * Element[seqB, i] / num), (4 * (Length[seqB] - i) / num)), (7 + (2 * Element[seqB, i] / num), (4 * (Length[seqB] - i) / num)), (7 + (2 * Element[seqB, i] / num), (4 * (Length[seqB] - i + 1) / num)), (7 - (2 * Element[seqB, i] / num), (4 * (Length[seqB] - i + 1) / num))], i, 1, Length[seqB]) → discB
  4. Sequence(Polygon[(2 - (2 * Element[tmpA, i] / num), 5), (2 + (2 * Element[tmpA, i] / num), 5), (2 + (2 * Element[tmpA, i] / num), 5 + 4 / num), (2 - (2 * Element[tmpA, i] / num), 5 + 4 / num)], i, 1, Length[tmpA]) → discTA
  5. Sequence(Polygon[(7 - (2 * Element[tmpB, i] / num), 5), (7 + (2 * Element[tmpB, i] / num), 5), (7 + (2 * Element[tmpB, i] / num), 5 + 4 / num), (7 - (2 * Element[tmpB, i] / num), 5 + 4 / num)], i, 1, Length[tmpB]) → discTB
  6. Sequence(Polygon[(12 - (2 * Element[tmpC, i] / num), 5), (12 + (2 * Element[tmpC, i] / num), 5), (12 + (2 * Element[tmpC, i] / num), 5 + 4 / num), (12 - (2 * Element[tmpC, i] / num), 5 + 4 / num)], i, 1, Length[tmpC]) → discTC

AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a classic Tower of Hanoi puzzle with three vertical pegs placed at left, center, and right on a horizontal base. Stack several discs of varying sizes on the pegs, with larger discs at the bottom and smaller ones on top. The left peg initially holds all discs, while the center and right pegs may be empty or partially filled. Discs are rectangular in cross-section, horizontally aligned, with uniform height and width decreasing upward. Arrange the pegs symmetrically with equal spacing, and keep the stacks neat to illustrate the recursive movement logic.
