Teaching

I am offering a brand new course,

Curriculum Applications of Mathematics, Culture, and Sustainability.

This course emphasizes cultural relevance and environmental sustainability through a place-based education approach. By focusing on interdisciplinary mathematics, the course integrates not just mathematical concepts, but also ecological, cultural, and social dimensions, all viewed through an Indigenous STEM education lens. Students will leave with a fully developed unit plan with a thriving Hawaiʻi initiative.
