Crafts

For this project, we were taught about the basics of weaving. We learned about warp and weft, and a brief history of weaving. The warp of my weaving is red construction paper, and the wefts are black and purple strips. The weft papers are woven over, under, over, under on one row, and then under, over, under, over for the next row. This pattern continues throughout the weaving. We also added three symbols to our craft that describe our lives. My symbols were a dumbbell to represent my love for lifting weights, a PB for my love of peanut butter, and a white star to represent the Dallas Cowboy's logo. 

For an extension activity with weaving, students could write out a multiplication table on their weave so that when they pull a strip, it will reveal the answer to the problem that they are trying to solve.
