While this resource is long, it includes deconstructing the layers of numeracy to create a shared understanding of what numeracy is. From there, it dives into epistemologies in learning math, and an overview of research methodology. While it is a valuable and interesting read, my interest peaked when I looked at Chapter 5 – Numeracy Practices in the Community of Haida Gwaii. This includes over a hundred pages of traditional ways of the Haida and their use of math in their cultural context. One example would be the Rythm of the Tides. It explains how it is important to Haida culture, including information from Haida, Parks Canada, as well as pictures and data. It connects the pattern to the sinusoidal function, and to sine function. That concept in math I would have never dreamed or guessed how to show a real world example, but it was all there, with cultural context to boot! It also included actual activities to do within the appendix like blanket designs and meaning.
