The Cure For The Common Core: Native American Geometry
The New Native American Geometry Workbook:
The Square’s Square Roots: Pythagoras’ Theorem
by Christopher Hardaker (M.A. Anthropology)

Teaching square roots and other proportional constants with connect-the-dot artistic designs. 5th-10th Grade.
A Pythagorean World erupts from a simple square. The square is a shape that contains built-in square roots that are perfect for introducing the Pythagorean Theorem, and utilizes Square Roots as Pythagorean Triplets! This is all accomplished with a simple connect-the-dot program using only a compass and a ruler, just like the ancient Greeks. This simple geometric tradition is found wherever you find civilization. There are volumes of multi-cultural lessons you can link to the exercises.
Make landscapes or baseball diamonds or sidewalk art and murals. Everything is first designed in the classroom. And then, if you want, you can go outdoors and scale up the designs to any size. All art and designs come with built-in mathematical lessons that are already embedded inside the designs themselves, regardless of size or scale.
Perfect for Summer studies. Guaranteed to settle any questions students might have about the Pythagorean Theorem and Square Roots and how they work. Guaranteed to nurture the self-esteem that comes with mastering a new skill and body of knowledge. Guaranteed to raise test scores if you follow the exercises – it already has.
Native American Geometry was inspired by the archaeological discovery that Native Americans invented their own geometry traditions thousands of years before the arrival of Columbus. The Native American Geometry Workbook Series is a compilation of art and design exercises that become a visual and measurable bridge to the higher maths, including Pythagoras’ Theorem.
If you think it’s time to think out of the box, think of a circle. You and your children/students will be amazed. Free samples available.
