Abstract | Observation of 56 American Indian students in grades 9-10, including 45 Navajo speakers, during open-ended mathematical patterning exercises revealed that students did not produce typically symmetrical patterns and that their patterns demonstrated a deep command of transformational geometry. The influence of Navajo language and culture are discussed. (Author/SV) |
