PEDAGOGICAL APPROACH
Culturally Responsive

Nikki shares her experiences with ethnomathematics, which connects math to students’ everyday lives and cultures. By exploring math in art, music, food, and other cultural practices, students develop a deeper appreciation for its relevance. Incorporating Indigenous knowledge into math education enhances student engagement and success while promoting land and community well-being. Nikki has also included an Estimating Tree Height activity.

For more information about Ethnomathematics check out the 2024 International Ethnomath Symposium
