Designing Patterns Curriculum Kit Author: Jerry Lipka, Daniel Lynn Watt, Evelyn Yanez, Joan Parker Webster, Dora Andrew-Ihrke, Aishath Shehenaz Adam In this module, students grades 3-5 design patterns to be used in a headdress or similar linear strip. As they create their pattern by cutting and folding a rectangle into smaller pieces, they learn about geometrical and area relationships. Following the methods of expert Yup'ik seamstresses, students learn how to make pattern pieces. The kit includes the teacher's curriculum, the Iluvaktuq and Paluqtalek storybook, the "Tumartat: Gathering the Pieces to Make the Whole" DVD, and Yup'ik glossary on CD-ROM. Designing Patterns: Exploring Shapes and Area 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.
