First Nations Mathematics Workshop (for Teachers)

Dec. 2-7, 2007

Banff International Research Station, Banff, Alberta


Event Description

This workshop will be an opportunity for teachers of Aboriginal students to develop their math knowledge and math teaching skills. Mathematicians and math educators will provide half day math workshops during the week for the teachers, in areas where we find that many teachers have difficulties understanding a concept and delivering it in class. The organizers have contacted 12 First Nation schools in British Columbia and Alberta, as well as Elders from First Nations who will provide cross-cultural training and information. Co-organizer of Workshop, Genevieve A. Fox, Coordinator, ABLKC FNAHEC.
