Patterns and Parkas Curriculum Kit Author: Jerry Lipka, Sandi Penderprast, Daniel Lynn Watt, Kay Gilliland, Nancy Sharp With Patterns and Parkas, second graders discover how one shape can be decomposed into others; how designs can be put together to make patterns; how the Yup'ik people use geometry in their everyday lives; and how the fundamental concepts of geometry, symmetry, patterns, and spatial sense enable them to interpret and reflect on their physical environment. This kit includes the curriculum, the Iluvaktug storybook, seven posters, the "Gathering Pieces to Make a Whole" DVD, and one Yup'ik glossary on CD-ROM. Patterns and Parkas Curriculum Kit 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.
