| Abstract | This guide contains hands-on mathematics activities to connect middle-school students to the traditional knowledge of their grandparents and elders. Because girls often lose interest in math at the middle-school level, and because women in some communities (especially in rural areas) are seldom involved in work with an obvious math basis, the activities explore common practices associated with women for generations. The guide has two sections. "Pieces of Mine: The Mathematics of Quilting" leads students into the worlds of plane geometry, symmetry, and tessellations. Through quilting, students take a hands-on approach to mathematics, spatial sense, culture, and history. Activities include a symmetry hunt, 2-D geometry with pattern blocks, and designing quilt patterns. "Crafty Mathematician: Making Art through Mathematics" provides mathematical skill-building activities while helping learners understand the math embodied in many craft activities. Students explore Cartesian coordinates, 2-D and 3-D geometry, measurement, symmetry, and volume. Activities include making ornaments, pictures, boxes, and a kaleidoscope. Each section includes an introduction, cautions, community connections, benefits to learners and communities, ideas for additional projects, readings, leader background information, activity descriptions, and handouts.
