This is a unit I created to satisfy the Montana Indian Education for All (IEFA) program. I noticed many mathematics lessons focused on just tipis and incorrectly labeled them as cones. This was a variation of a project I did during third grade in Washington State. I've adapted it to apply to high school geometry, with some deeper essential questions.Students use physical constructs and design to understand traditional First Nations home structures and relate them to Platonic Solids and efficient

This was a project for my Mathematics Methods class at UCLA. As it turns out, I got a little carried away with it. I shared this activity with the math teachers at my school, and they appreciated it.Please note that this activity should be completed only after lessons are provided to discuss area, surface area, volume, and transformation (dilation, rotation, and reflection). This project provides a hands-on activity to help students who are kinetic learners conceptualize transformation and under
