Mathematics used in building ancient Chamorro homes
The focus of this is the latte stone, as it was used as pillars for the foundation of homes.
Mathematics concepts: weight, size and shape of latte stones; number of latte stones used for the foundation of the homes
The main objective of Phase I of Project MACIMISE is to begin mapping out indigenous mathematical practices and knowledge in selected Pacific Islands cultures. A description of the research project can be found here: http://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward.do?AwardNumber=0918309
