Yvette D’Entremont from the University of Alberta discusses the importance of mathematics being not culturally neutral and the need for teachers to incorporate meaningful cultural elements into their practices when teaching mathematics. She discusses 4 symbols and how one could incorporate mathematical concepts;
- Basket Weaving (First Nations culture)
- The quilt
- The Pysanka (Ukrainian)
- Ceinture Flechee (French Sash)
She stresses the importance of including community members when teaching with cultural symbols to further enhance learning.
