GEOMETRY
About 500 years ago, the Navajo Nation moved from the Northwest
to the American Southwest. There they learned the art of rug weaving from
the Pueblo Indians. The Navajo became very good at weaving and developed
it into an art of their own. The Navajo used geometrical shapes and designs
in their rugs. Geometry is the study of shapes, such as circles, triangles,
and squares. These shapes can be found on the rugs that they make.
Look at this Navajo rug below. See how many shapes you can find.
