Considering Indigenous Knowledges and Mathematics Curriculum
Sterenberg, Gladys
Canadian Journal of Science, Mathematics and Technology Education, v13 n1 p18-32 2013
Across Canada, significant program changes in school mathematics have been made that encourage teachers to consider Aboriginal perspectives. In this article, I investigate one Aboriginal teacher's approaches to integrating Indigenous knowledges and the mandated mathematics curriculum in a Blackfoot First Nation school. Using a framework that explicates Western and Indigenous mathematics, I describe two approaches involving the construction of a model house and learning from place by visiting a sacred site. By problematizing the notion of integration, I claim that developing an understanding of Indigenous and Western worldviews might offer generative possibilities for this complex endeavor.
