Investigating Geometric Principles, Shapes, Patterns, and Measurement

By: Jerry Lipka, Sandi Penderprast, Daniel Lynn Watt, Kay Gilliland, Nancy Sharp

Designed for use with second graders, this module emphasizes both conceptual and applied understanding of geometric principles, shapes, patterns, and measurement by engaging students in creating patterns and making a parka. Each activity in this book contains a clear list of goals, materials list, detailed instructions, vocabulary list, illustrations, and black line masters. Helpful teacher notes, math notes, and cultural notes appear throughout.

Patterns and Parkas: Investigating Geometric Principles, Shapes, Patterns, and Measurement is part of the Math in a Cultural Context series, a supplemental math curriculum based on the traditional wisdom and practices of the Yup'ik Eskimo people of southwest Alaska.
