Snail's Trail Quilt Square

I created this GeoGebra applet based on a quilt square pattern to use in a precalculus class as a visual introduction to the sum of an infinite geometric series. A nice accompaniment is this applet from Irina Boyadzhiev. I also created a Desmos activity with a focus on asking questions which incorporates these two applets.

\(\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{8} + . . . \)

A simple applet illustrating the sum of the geometric series \(\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{8} + . . .  \)
