    Extractions: personal webpage: http://pages.towson.edu/shirley Abstract Explore this exciting and emerging field. Remove your European lenses that color your ideas of the social, cultural, and even political interactions of mathematics and culture. Find new ways of teaching cultural math that look nothing like Western mathematics, and see how mathematical thinking in other cultures may be hard to recognize in the Western sense. Learn the background, history, and theory of ethnomathematics and some get structures for seeking ethnomathematical examples. Then build on these structures with demonstrations and activities of mathematics from a variety of cultures from around the world. By popular request, part of this presentation is repeated from a shorter session at the 2004 ISSA Conference, but with additional background and activities. Outline Isn't mathematics culture-free?

    Extractions: Ethnomathematics is the study of mathematics, which takes into consideration the culture in which mathematics arises. We all have some notions of what ethnomathematics is, but should it be influencing school mathematics? An important change in mathematical instruction needs to take place in order to accommodate the change in the demographics of students. Teachers and supervisors need to be instructed in gearing education more toward students of different cultures. This paper describes why and how ethnomathematics should influence mathematics. It emphasizes why ethnomathematics is important in mathematics education and focuses on the way that culture plays an important role in a child's life. The term "ethnomathematics" refers to mathematical concepts embedded in cultural practices. Ethnomathematics: Why?

    http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Ethnomathematics and aboriginal student anxiety-a0
    
    Extractions: Mathematics anxiety has been identified as a barrier to aboriginal learners who wish to enroll in post secondary education and training in Canada. We examined student beliefs about mathematics anxiety and their perceptions about how increased culturally-relevant mathematical content could enhance their feelings of efficacy in mathematics. We found higher levels of anxiety among aboriginal students; and identified differences between aboriginal and non-aboriginal students' views of how mathematics anxiety can be reduced. Aboriginal students expressed a higher degree of preference for mathematics problems and projects that included indigenous perspectives. This belief was reiterated in both personal interviews and in the written surveys. Transcripts show all aboriginal students expressed considerable enthusiasm for the culturally focused projects, and in particular expressed a desire to learn more about the cultural contributions aboriginal peoples had made. Considerable pride was expressed in the tone and descriptions that these aboriginal students used in their personal interviews. Projects also required students to work collaboratively together, an alternative to the usual individual question/answer cycle, which was also identified as a source of anxiety.

    Extractions: Main Mathematics is the same everywhere in the world. It is a true universal language. But some folks are upset about it, because of its Western roots. So now we get Ethnomathematics! From the New York Times (free subscription required), we learn: The only possibility of building up a planetary civilization depends on restoring the dignity of the losers.'' Robert N. Proctor, who teaches the history of science at Pennsylvania State University, says he wants to counter the notion ''that the West is the be all and end all'' when it comes to mathematical studies. ''After all,'' he adds, ''all math is ethnomath not just African kinship numerics or Peruvian bead counting, but also the C.I.A.'s number-crunching cryptology and Reaganomics.''

    Extractions: Ethnomathematics is an attempt to bring mathematics into the lives of all students. It adds a global perspective to mathematics and highlights the accomplishments of all people of all heritages. Ethnic minorities are now becoming the majority of the school-age population. The American National Research Council's Everybody Counts in Alcoze (1992) reports that white males will make up 15% of the net additions to the labour force between 1985 and 2000. The other 85% will be made up of women and people of colour. Multicultural education comprises a new, global perspective on the history of mathematics, sciences, and engineering. People studying the inclusion of an ethnomathematics perspective in the regular classroom ask the question: These facts led Lesley Sisco to ask the question: How do I value my students interests and also connect them to ideas and traditions growing out of centuries of mathematical exploration and invention?
