Math Catcher

Incorporating Indigenous knowledge into curriculum areas can be challenging. I found this resource while conducting researching for my end project on storytelling.

Math Catcher: Mathematics through Aboriginal Storytelling introduces math concepts through animated films (9 in total) using Indigenous imagery and storytelling. The films are produced in “several First Nations languages (Blackfoot, Cree, Squamish, Heiltsuk, Nisga’a, Sliammon, Halq’em ́eylem, Hul’q’umi’num’, and Huu-ay- aht) as well as bilingual picture books in Blackfoot/English, Cree/English, Squamish/English, Nisga’a/English, and Sliammon/English.” The website also contains information pertaining to workshops for mathematics outreach.
