Math First Peoples Resource Guide

Math First Peoples Resource Guide

First Nations Education Steering Committee has created this website and provided multiple resource guides to help teachers incorporate Aboriginal Education in a interdisciplinary setting. The resource guide that is recommended is teaching grade 8-9 mathematics in an Aboriginal context. The resource guide is “Math First Peoples”, this guide then provides a great opportunity to include history, culture, and aboriginal perspective in the Math classroom. It provides a challenging but practical outlook on how the First Nations People would use Mathematics in daily life. By teaching these unit plans, you are completing the provincially prescribed standards but with a real to life outlook that focuses on the importance of culture and Canada’s history.
