The scenarios take place in Aboriginal cultural and physical environments. The resolution of a particular plot always requires some mathematical knowledge. Plots in our stories are a mixture of adventures and math puzzles with the aim of catching a viewer\u2019s attention and interest (thus the title of our project). Each story closes with an open-ended question that should spark discussions and lead to further activities. The question at the end of each story is purposefully not answered in the story.<\/p>\n<h2>Stories:<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mathcatcher.irmacs.sfu.ca\/story\/small-number-counts-100\">Small Number Counts to 100<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mathcatcher.irmacs.sfu.ca\/story\/small-number-counts-100\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1038\" src=\"https:\/\/www.comoxvalleyschools.ca\/indigenous-education\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2021\/05\/Count-to-100.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"539\" height=\"298\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.comoxvalleyschools.ca\/indigenous-education\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2021\/05\/Count-to-100.png 539w, https:\/\/www.comoxvalleyschools.ca\/indigenous-education\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2021\/05\/Count-to-100-300x166.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 539px) 100vw, 539px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The story was inspired by narration from Ms. Rina Sinclair of the Siksika Nation.

We use terms like smooth, shape, oval, and surface, the mathematical phraseology like, It must be at least a hundred years old, the artist skillfully presents reflection (symmetry) of trees in water, and so on. The idea behind this approach is to give the moderator a few openings to introduce or emphasize various mathematical objects, concepts, and terminology. The short film is a little math suspense story and our question is related only to one part of it. The aim of the question is to lead to an introduction at an intuitive level of the concept of a function and the essence of the principle of inclusion-exclusion as a counting technique. The authors would also like to give their audience an opportunity to appreciate that in order to understand a math question, one often needs to read (or in this case, watch) a problem more than once.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mathcatcher.irmacs.sfu.ca\/story\/small-number-and-basketball-tournament\">Small Number and the Basketball Tournament\u200b<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mathcatcher.irmacs.sfu.ca\/story\/small-number-and-basketball-tournament\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1040\" src=\"https:\/\/www.comoxvalleyschools.ca\/indigenous-education\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2021\/05\/Small-Numbers-and-Basketball-Tournament.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"539\" height=\"301\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.comoxvalleyschools.ca\/indigenous-education\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2021\/05\/Small-Numbers-and-Basketball-Tournament.png 539w, https:\/\/www.comoxvalleyschools.ca\/indigenous-education\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2021\/05\/Small-Numbers-and-Basketball-Tournament-300x168.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 539px) 100vw, 539px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Small Number is a young boy who gets into a lot of mischief.

Not only will teachers be able to teach about the M\u00e9tis but they will also utilize strategies that foster and promote literacy development (listening, speaking, reading, writing, viewing, and representing). The stories used in this guidebook are written and illustrated by M\u00e9tis authors and illustrators. Each sto\u200bry brings traditional and contemporary M\u00e9tis culture to life. They honour the past and present. M\u00e9tis children often see themselves in these publications. Non-M\u00e9tis students will see and connect with the universal themes and relate them to their own lives while learning about M\u00e9tis culture.<\/p>\n<p>Most importantly, this resource is about engaging readers in the history and traditions of M\u00e9tis culture through literature. M\u00e9tis children\u2019s literature is found in classrooms, and in school libraries and public libraries all across Canada. Teachers use the books in various ways to bring awareness of the culture and teach outcomes. However, teachers are not always an \u201cinsider\u201d in the culture, and often search for ideas on how to incorporate M\u00e9tis content into their practice. There is a desire by teachers to be more inclusive, but they may not know how. This resource assists teachers in being culturally responsive while at the same time allowing them to teach provincial outcomes.<\/p>\n<h2>M\u00e9tis Nation of BC<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1063\" src=\"https:\/\/www.comoxvalleyschools.ca\/indigenous-education\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2021\/05\/Metis-BC-Nation.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"217\" height=\"287\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Grade 7 M\u00e9tis\u200b Cross-Curricular Teacher Guide (from M\u00e9\u200btis Nation of BC)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.comoxvalleyschools.ca\/indigenous-education\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2021\/05\/Grade-7-Metis-Cross-Curricular-Teacher-Guide.pdf\">Grade 7 Metis Cross Curricular Teacher Guide<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>MIKI&#8217;SIW M\u00e9tis Association\u200b<\/h2>\n<p><strong>\u200bThe M\u00e9tis Nation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The advent of the fur trade in west central North America during the 18th century was accompanied by a growing number of mixed offspring of Indian women and European fur traders.

\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This unit illustrates the integration of Social Studies and Science. The seasonal round was chosen as a theme for this unit because it lends itself well to integrating the topics of BC First Nations study in Social Studies, and habitat in Science.<\/p>\n<p>A seasonal round: also known as the annual round \u2026 refers to the pattern of movement from one resource-gathering area to another in a cycle that was followed each year. Spring, summer and fall saw the people moving to a variety of resource areas while during the harsher winter they gathered in winter villages. The abundance of resources also determined how often people moved. In areas that had a greater abundance of variety, people could stay in one location for longer than in areas where resources were scarcer. Campbell, Kenneth, Charles Menzies, and Brent Peacock. B.C. First Nations Studies. BC Ministry of Education, 2003, page 25<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u200bThe topic of the resource is the seasonal rounds in the four geographic regions of BC, through the perspective of Aboriginal groups (past and present) who live in these regions.
