Attached is a NSW Department of Education link to an article on the uses of mathematics in Aboriginal Cultures. 

At times you can bring maths into culture, through storytelling, land links, and symbols. Other times you can bring culture into maths through visual displays and non-verbal communication. 

This can be introduced into the maths classroom by going outside and having students take note of maths connections they find outside, for example:

• patterns: natural repetition, such as on leaves and birds. Use these patterns to make predictions, and construct your own patterns.

• measurement: length, temperature, age. See how many things you can measure, and discuss what you would need to do that, and how First Nations peoples may have done so.

• geometry: the shapes and sizes of flora and fauna. Have students measure a tree. Let them come up with an array of techniques to do so, showing how this can be done using geometric practices. 

• Financial Maths: Have students develop a monetary system using only natural resources. How can you determine the worth of one resource in comparison to another? How does a resource's worth change over time?

• Calculus: study the aerodynamics of boomerangs, the physics of a digeridoo and the buoyancy of a canoe.
