he’s got pattern around the edge and

he’s got pattern around the edge and that the pattern repeats itself that’s

that the pattern repeats itself that’s

that the pattern repeats itself that’s built into these vertical strips going

built into these vertical strips going

built into these vertical strips going around the side of the basket and the

around the side of the basket and the

around the side of the basket and the vertical strips come from the base

vertical strips come from the base

vertical strips come from the base strips you can see that the strip coming

strips you can see that the strip coming

strips you can see that the strip coming across the top there then it comes down

across the top there then it comes down

across the top there then it comes down it splits into two and that’s what makes

it splits into two and that’s what makes

it splits into two and that’s what makes the the pattern around the outside this

the the pattern around the outside this

the the pattern around the outside this particular baskets got strips going in

particular baskets got strips going in

particular baskets got strips going in three directions for a total of 68

three directions for a total of 68

three directions for a total of 68 strips and when I go up the side they

strips and when I go up the side they

strips and when I go up the side they split into 136 strips and that’s what

split into 136 strips and that’s what

split into 136 strips and that’s what you’ve got to make your pattern and in

you’ve got to make your pattern and in

you’ve got to make your pattern and in that in this basket here that you can

that in this basket here that you can

that in this basket here that you can see there’s 17 different patterns and so

see there’s 17 different patterns and so

see there’s 17 different patterns and so you’ve got eight strips per pattern if

you’ve got eight strips per pattern if

you’ve got eight strips per pattern if Rand law doesn’t know that the baskets

and if you put six of them together you

and if you put six of them together you get a six pointed star at six times 60s

get a six pointed star at six times 60s

get a six pointed star at six times 60s 360 degrees that’s making the flat

360 degrees that’s making the flat

360 degrees that’s making the flat planar bottom of the basket but we don’t

planar bottom of the basket but we don’t

planar bottom of the basket but we don’t want the basket just to be flat we want

want the basket just to be flat we want

want the basket just to be flat we want it to come up at the side so you can see

it to come up at the side so you can see

it to come up at the side so you can see there’s a lot of six pointed stars there

there’s a lot of six pointed stars there

there’s a lot of six pointed stars there but there’s also five-pointed stars in

but there’s also five-pointed stars in

but there’s also five-pointed stars in the corner right where the basket turns

the corner right where the basket turns

the corner right where the basket turns up there’s five point stars

up there’s five point stars

up there’s five point stars that’s a convex surface that’s what you

that’s a convex surface that’s what you

that’s a convex surface that’s what you need to make the side of your basket you

need to make the side of your basket you

need to make the side of your basket you can see grandmas weaving there I caught

broom actually one time we were teaching

broom actually one time we were teaching training on this activity and we’ve done

training on this activity and we’ve done

training on this activity and we’ve done all the different kinds of triangles and

all the different kinds of triangles and

all the different kinds of triangles and all the different parallelograms and the

all the different parallelograms and the

all the different parallelograms and the teacher raised their hand and said what

teacher raised their hand and said what

teacher raised their hand and said what about the Pythagorean theorem and we

about the Pythagorean theorem and we

about the Pythagorean theorem and we said all right let’s do it so we made a

said all right let’s do it so we made a

said all right let’s do it so we made a triangle with the one side of three and

triangle with the one side of three and

triangle with the one side of three and one side of four and we measured the

one side of four and we measured the

one side of four and we measured the hypotenuse then we calculated it all out

hypotenuse then we calculated it all out

hypotenuse then we calculated it all out with the formula and the answers came

with the formula and the answers came

with the formula and the answers came out exactly the same

out exactly the same

out exactly the same and that teachers gave us a standing
