Grade 9 Students Learn about Traditional Indigenous Mathematics

Last week, Mr. Moorlag's Grade 9 Math students took a break from their textbooks and participated in listening to a livestream hosted by the Ontario Science Centre, featuring Bryan Bellefeuille, Anishinaabe of the Nipissing First Nation.
Mr. "Belle" discussed the use of traditional indigenous mathematics - from making tools and measuring trees to building canoes and cooking meals.

The students enjoyed participating in the live chat, and asked and answered quite a few questions to better understand the way mathematics is used in Indigenous communities.

Land Acknowledgment

CDS wishes to recognize and acknowledge the land on which the school operates. For thousands of years, these have been the traditional lands of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. We also recognize the traditional territory of the Huron-Wendat, Anishinaabe and the Haudenosaunee peoples who also shared this land.  CDS respects the relationship with these lands and recognizes that our connection can be strengthened by our continued relationship with all First Nations, by acknowledging our shared responsibility to respect and care for these lands and waters for future generations.
