Publisher: Center for Cultural Design (CCD)
Description: This site uses the example of Native American rug weaving to demonstrate the mathematical concept of Cartesian coordinates. The unit provides a background on the cultural tradition of rug weaving. An interactive applet is also included, which lets students design their own geometric weaving pattern.
