Problem Statement:
When there is a sequence of line segments that forms a spiral-like shape it is
known as a spiralateral. This assignment is to explore these spiralaterals and come to up with some rules about them and state the conclusions.
Spiralaterals are usually drawn on pieces of graph paper. They are based on a sequence of numbers that can be of any length. To draw a spiralateral first pick a starting point anywhere on the paper. Then, going upward, you draw the first number in the sequence and put an arrow at the end of the line segment. Then turn clockwise 90º and draw the next number in the sequence in a line. Put an arrow at the end of that segment. Continue this pattern until it reaches the end of the numbers in the sequence. Instead of stopping there redraw the entire sequence again and again. Once you reach the original starting point it is considered finish. Some may never reach the starting point.
