This past week we have recognized Métis Week by watching some videos, listening to stories, and looking for the math in a Métis sash.
I Can Create a Concrete and Pictorial Representation of a Repeating Pattern / I Can Translate a Pattern from One Form to Another
We began our look at the Métis sash by watching a video that explained who used it, how it was used, how it was made, and how it has evolved to be an important part of Métis culture. You can watch the video here.
Afterwards, we talked about the colours and shapes that we noticed in the sash. We explored some of the meanings behind the colours and then practiced translating and creating a pattern onto paper. Later in the week, we continued thinking about and exploring the patterns in Métis sashes by creating a model out of snap cubes.
