Pasifika Patterns
Read Ngatu - Keeping the Tradition Alive then complete the activities underneath.
What maths can you find in these Tongan ngatu patterns?
Let's learn how to draw some Pasifika patterns.
Now that you have some skills, let's create a class tapa cloth.
Use the patterns that you learnt about in the video (you can go back and watch again if you need to) to create a pattern that fit on the square of paper given to you.
Think about using different shapes and types of symmetry. We will join our designs together to make a class ngatu.
