Resumen
Math in a Cultural Context (MCC) is a long-term project committed to developing elementary school math modules based on Yup’ik elders’ knowledge. Part of the project’s commitment is to develop culturally based curriculum which is mathematically challenging. This paper describes the process of developing The Salmon Fishing: Investigations into Probability. Further, the paper reports preliminary outcome data which suggests that this module was effective.
