Description
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 building.

CCSSHSG-GMD.A.3
Use volume formulas for cylinders, pyramids, cones, and spheres to solve problems.
CCSSHSG-GMD.B.4
Identify the shapes of two-dimensional cross-sections of three-dimensional objects, and identify three-dimensional objects generated by rotations of two-dimensional objects.
CCSSHSG-MG.A.1
Use geometric shapes, their measures, and their properties to describe objects (e.g., modeling a tree trunk or a human torso as a cylinder).
CCSSHSG-MG.A.3
Apply geometric methods to solve design problems (e.g., designing an object or structure to satisfy physical constraints or minimize cost; working with typographic grid systems based on ratios).
