Drawing from Mi'kmaq culture in Atlantic Canada, a series of inquiry units were developed to explore the math of quill boxes, birch bark biting, language loss, paddle making, and more. In this workshop, participants will learn about these culturally based units and engage in hands-on tasks to explore concepts of geometry, fractions, and proportional reasoning.
