Synopsis The Math First Peoples Resource Guide is designed to help teachers of Mathematics 8 and 9 in British Columbia (BC) extend their existing practice to incorporate new approaches that make the BC school system more reflective of the realities of First Peoples. It is based on the belief that by bringing content, perspectives, and teaching approaches associated with First Peoples into the math classroom, teachers will: help all students better appreciate the presence and importance of mathematics and mathematical thinking within all human cultures and activities; give all students a better sense of the significant place of First Peoples within the historical and contemporary fabric of this province; and help their Aboriginal students to feel more comfortable in mathematics learning situations and more motivated to participate and focus thus becoming able to learn more effectively, experience increased academic success, and develop numeracy concepts and skills for lifelong use.
