While working on the Ministry of Education Video Project trying to highlight the new mathematics curriculum and its potential ways of implementation, we decided to work on the First Peoples curricular competencies. We were inspired by the idea of bentwood boxes and how they are constructed. This gave us an opportunity create two threads of learning: one for the teacher as learner and one for the students as learner. We will discuss and share our ideas, stages of implementation, and what we learned from this wonderful experience!
I'm currently teaching at Southridge school, math 8-12. My interests are in discussion-based learning and teaching and engagement in a mathematics classroom.
