A Math Enrichment for Hopi and Tawa Students in 5th-8th Grade

Abstract

This math enrichment resource involves the acknowledgement that a child, to become a better member of society, needs to develop their emotional, social, physical, and spiritual dimensions. This approach also highlights the concept of peoplehood, which acknowledges that an individual’s identity transcends geographical borders and encompasses cultural, social, and historical dimensions (Holm, et al., 2003). This Connecting Hopi and Tewa culture to school mathematics can support academic achievement and cultural ties (Gilbert, et al 2018).
