  2. Big Questions • How does worldview impact our understanding of math? • How does our use and understanding of math reflect our worldview? • How can FNMI worldviews build understanding of mathematics concepts for everyone?

  3. Group Brainstorm • What materials were available to First Nations and Inuit people pre-contact?

  4. Early Contact

  5. Possible Responses • Rocks • Sticks • Leaves • Feathers • Hides • Antlers • Bones • Clay • Plant dye • Berries • Shells • Sinew • Bark
