Module 3.5: First Nations’ Games of Chance

Post 5: First Nations’ Games of Chance

I found a site housed by the University of Victoria outlining a couple of traditional games played by First Nations’ peoples: dice games and guessing games. The website outlines the rules and point systems for the games, as well as provides worksheets and images that could be used in the classroom alongside the games. These games would be ideal to incorporate into a culturally responsive mathematics lesson concerning counting, comparisons, or probability.
