Using Technology to Teach Mathematics to Aboriginal Youth

For my final project I would like to explore the use of technology to engage young learners in Mathematics. The inspiration for this topic came from my stumbling upon an Indigenous Math Story Telling  resource that intrigued me.  I had never thought of employing this method to teach mathematics to aboriginal students.   As my education and teaching assignments have always been entirely in math, this topic interests me.  While teaching aboriginal youth, I don’t think I was ever equipped with the necessary training or resources that would make me an effective teacher.  This opportunity would allow me to increase my own knowledge, ideas, and expertise.  It would also allow me to share this with fellow math teachers I work with.

I aim to present my project in the form of  a slideshow with links, multimedia, and text.
