Naming Spirolaterals (or Spiros for short.)
Teacher's page (coming soon)

This Spirolateral is called a Wumpus. It was drawn by setting the sliders to 7, 3, and 6.

There are three types of spirolaterals - Gloop, Whimsy, and Wumpus. Can you separate them into these groups?
Can you predict which type will appear based solely on the S numbers? Use the chart below to help you figure it out.
