Term 3 - Week 1 - Cook Island language week challenge

The challenge for our Cook Island Language week was to create our own Tivaevae patterns using geometrical shapes as part of our Mathematics program.

The unit tied in very nicely with our math program as we were learning about translation, rotation and reflection under the Geometry strand. These processes were used in creating Tivaevae.

What is Tivaevae?

Tivaevae or tivaivai (Cook Islands Māori: tīvaevae) in the Cook Islands, tifaifai in French Polynesia, is a form of artistic quilting traditionally done by Polynesian women. The word literally means "patches", in reference to the pieces of material sewn together

Our troopers produced some amazing designs.
