Native American Teepee

Students were introduced to PATTERN and looked at different Native American teepees. We discussed the shape of a teepee being a cone (but that we were going to use a triangle shape for ours since it is 2d).


Children received a brown piece of construction paper. Using a black Sharpie, students drew 2 diagonal straight lines to make a triangle. They showed proper use of scissors and cut out the shape, turned it over and drew the opening/door of the teepee. After that, they used construction paper crayons to make a design at the bottom of the teepee and then start their AB patterns. Students were required to draw a shape pattern, line pattern and color pattern. If students needed more of a challenge, I had them create ABC and AABB patterns.
