Adapting Yup'ik Elders' Knowledge: Pre-K-to-6 Math and Instructional Materials Development

小行星9618099 阿拉斯加大学费尔班克斯与一个Yup'ik教师小组、Ciujout领导人和Yup'ik长老合作，将开发15个辅助模块或幼儿园前到六年级的数学课程。 这些模块从Yup'ik爱斯基摩文化、语言和日常实践中发展而来，将Yup'ik文化中的嵌入式数学与西方数学联系起来。 这些模块将符合国家数学教师理事会的课程和评价标准。 在此之前，该团队开发了基于Yup'ik语言和文化的数学操作原型（Yup'ik数学工具包）。 Yup'ik数学工具包利用了Yup'ik的计算、非标准测量和模式概念。 这个工具包将得到完善，并将成为这种基于探究的数学教学方法的一个组成部分。 该团队计划开发计算机软件，孩子们可以用它来复制、识别、分析和创造Yup'ik图案。 这个为期四年的项目旨在通过将数学与其文化联系起来，为历史上代表性不足的阿拉斯加土著学生提供服务。 这个项目还将提供这些上下文丰富的数学问题，远远超出了阿拉斯加州的观众，在其吸引力的国家的意图。 为了实现这一目标，项目团队将在阿拉斯加州的学区中进行试点和实地测试，这些学区几乎100%是土著居民，而阿拉斯加州以外的地区则是土著居民。 最后，课程编制小组将与阿拉斯加农村系统倡议建立伙伴关系，编制这一课程，并提高教师水平。

9618099 Lipka The University of Alaska Fairbanks in collaboration with a Yup'ik teacher group, Ciulistet Leaders , and Yup'ik elders will develop 15 ancillary modules or prekindergarten through sixth grade mathematics curriculum. These modules, which are developed from Yup'ik Eskimo culture, language, and everyday practice, connect the embedded mathematics in Yup'ik culture to Western mathematics. These modules will conform to the Curriculum and Evaluation Standards of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. Previously, this team developed math manipulative prototypes (the Yup'ik math Tool Kit) based on Yup'ik language and culture. The Yup'ik Math Tool Kit takes advantage of Yup'ik conceptions of numeration, nonstandard measures, and patterns. This tool kit will be refined and will form an integral part of this inquiry-based approach to teaching mathematics. The team plans to develop computer software that children can use to copy, identify, analyze, and create Yup'ik patterns. This four-year project is designed to serve a historically underrepresented group, indigenous Alaskan students, by linking mathematics with their culture. This project will also provide these contextually rich mathematics problems to an audience well beyond the state of Alaska, with the intent of being national in its appeal. To accomplish this, the project team will pilot and field test the modules in Alaska among school districts with an almost 100% indigenous population and outside of Alaska. Lastly, the curriculum development team will form a partnership with the Alaska Rural Systemic Initiative in developing this curriculum and in providing teacher enhancement.
