21- Math Is a Verb: Enhancing Achievement of American Indian Students

Thursday, November 12, 2015: 8:00 AM-9:15 AM
101 FG (Minneapolis Convention Center)

 

Lead Speaker:
James Barta
Co-Speaker:
Porter E. Coggins


 

Math is typically considered a noun and often is taught that way. In many American Indian languages, there is no single word for math; rather it is named in its action. Participants will learn activities that increase student interest and involvement as they learn to create their own activities that connect to the lives of the students they teach.
