PNMI et les mathématiques

It matters how we do things among our three founding nations – Indigenous, English and French.

In this project, Indigenous and non-Indigenous researchers will work collaboratively with four non-Indigenous teachers in a small rural town. The teachers will learn to go back and forth between two ways of interacting with the world mathematically (Western and Indigenous). They will instruct their students through activities, followed by discussions with the researchers about what they have learned concerning Western and Indigenous math. These outcomes will be closely monitored by two of the researchers.

Participants will develop an understanding of:

• The project Protocols and Framework for engagement and collaborative work with Indigenous Partners
  • Importance of doing the work “in a good way”
  • Components of a cyclical and iterative process
  • Ethnomathematics
• Learning Mathematics through culture to develop mathematical and cultural identity
  • Authentic culturally responsive teaching and learning
  • Robust mathematical thinking
  • Connections to the Ontario mathematics curriculum
• The project in relation to the FNMI Framework
  • Reflect on individual local context
