Centering Indigenous Pedagogies in Math Education 

Join our 4-part webinar series where leading scholars and educators explore strategies for centering Indigenous pedagogies in mathematics education. Sessions will focus on classroom teachers sharing examples, ideas, and questions on various Indigenous pedagogies such as Indigenous Storywork, teaching mathematics with/from place and land, and culturally responsive mathematics education and assessment practices.

Sessions Include:

  • Mathematical Moments of Becoming Indigenous Storywork Ready
  • The Power of Teaching and Learning Mathematics through Land and Place
  • Culturally Responsive Mathematics Education across Contexts
  • Oral and Experiential Stories as Indigenous Pedagogies for Mathematical Flourishing
