Internet sites for quilting:
 This project came about because of a school-wide project to study Egypt during our summer session. Since I teach Math, a project had to be developed to correlate Egypt and mathematics. Because there is a section in our fifth grade mathematics text book on ancient Egyptian numbers, a project involving the Egyptian number system seemed appropriate. Some of the students had previously enjoyed making a tessellation quilt for a math/science project. Since both students and the teacher enjoy this kind of hands-on activity, we chose to work on a quilt to study Egyptian numbers. |
