Cultural Arts: Measuring & Symmetry

Investigate measuring techniques and approaches to symmetry used in Alaska Native cultures and develop skills in creating geometric shapes using a culturally specific approach with grades 6-12.

We would like to express our gratitude to Aaron Leggett, John Hagen, and Evelyn Yanez for sharing their time and knowledge to refine this curriculum. Thank you for your guidance and support.
