Culturally-based mathematics and science curriculum proceedings of the Workshop on Culturally-Based Math and Science Curriculum Department [sic], conducted at Haskell Indian Junior College, Lawrence, Kansas USA, June July 2, Developing Culturally Based Science Curriculum 45 Native children’s ability to learn is enhanced by the integration or immersion of their native language and culture into the curricula in an academically rigorous and culturally relevant and responsive manner.

Culturally based education is. As one example, to make science and mathematics instruction more relevant and meaningful, teachers can include the examination of local indigenous knowledge and practices in their curriculum. A randomized controlled trial conducted in Alaska examined the efficacy of 2 second-grade modules of the reform-oriented and culturally based Math in a Cultural Context (MCC) teacher training and curriculum.

The results show that the Picking Berries (representing and measuring) and Going to Egg Island (grouping and place value) modules significantly improved students' mathematics performance. puter science, % of those in engineering, % in the physical sciences, and % in mathematics (U.S.

In mathematics education, ethnomathematics is the study of the relationship between mathematics and culture. Often associated with "cultures without written expression", it may also be defined as "the mathematics which is practised among identifiable cultural groups".

It refers to a broad cluster of ideas ranging from distinct numerical and mathematical systems to multicultural mathematics.

The math mystique is fed by stereotypes suggesting that white males and Asians are innately better at math and that math originated in Western civilization (Zaslavsky ). However, a new field-ethnomathematics is emerging to refute these ideas.

Ourstory: A culturally-based curriculum framed by history.

The math curriculum that Indigenous students receive is not culturally adequate, and there is no research to help understand the experiences of people that take the path to creating culturally relevant math lessons. Hence, this study researches the experiences of a collaborative group that developed culturally-based math lessons through a case study approach within an action research.

The differences in mathematics classrooms and homework are compounded by national differences in the rigor of the mathematics curriculum. Stevenson and Bartsch (), for instance, found that Japanese and American elementary and secondary school mathematics textbooks generally presented on the same topics, but the material was conceptually Author: Daniel B.

Berch, David C. Geary, Kathleen Mann Koepke. Ethnomathematics calls for a reconstruction of the mathematics curriculum to achieve cultural compatibility (Moll and Diaz ; Trueba ). In this reconstruction, students' cultural and background experiences and vocabulary are used to frame mathematics problems in the classroom (Henderson and Landesman ).

The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM, ) has created a set of standards to reform mathematics teaching procedures to ensure that all students understand mathematics and learn to think mathematically.

The standards also require teachers to use strategies that allow all students to reason and communicate mathematically and develop students' abilities to solve by: 2.
