Ethnomathematics is the study of mathematics that considers the culture in which those mathematics arise. Ethnomathematicians typically take the view that any mathematics is an artefact of a particular culture. This study contributes to the understanding of cultures, but, reciprocally, to the understanding of mathematics. Subjects which are studied in ethnomathematics include but are not limited to: Numeral systems Architecture Weaving Games of skill and chance, which fall...
During the process of earning my graduate degree I have taken two elective math courses on ethnomathematics. I will be using the very textbook I learned with to create modified lesson plans that are age and grade level appropriate. I will also be utilizing my knowledge in world and minority histories to provide historical examples to students during our lessons. I have mentored over 200 teens over the past 6 years through my nonprofit on diversity and current events and continue to lead open group discussions regarding diversity and inclusion for individuals ages 5-18 as well as adults in a corporate setting. I have many years of experience facilitating difficult conversations regarding civil rights and African American History. I have been serving on the Women of Color Community Leadership Board for a Fortune 500 company in Diversified Outsourcing Services industry. This unique is group is a branch of their Diversity and Inclusion department. Through this position I have facilitated, created, and organized trainings on diversity and inclusion, anti racism, and holiday specific courses (history of MLK Day, Kwanzaa, Juneteenth, Indigenous Peoples' Day, and Black History Month) for the work place. In edition utilizing elective courses I have taken though my undergraduate and graduate degrees (World history, American history, North American Slavery) I also have extensively studied the books/textbooks for the purpose of teaching classes for school aged children for various non profit programs and after school organizations, and children on parents who are employed with above listed company as a company benefit on various African American heroes and events both virtually and in person. I am committed to creating a safe non bias space for children to express their thoughts and ideas. I have my Bachelors Degree in Business Administration and my Masters of Business Administration both with health services leadership minors. Currently I have also started courseware for my prospective Doctorate Degree in Executive Leadership. I am qualified to teach about various cultures due to real life experience I have visited over 60 countries in my life time and traveled full time for over 3 years. I also lived in Europe for over 2 years.
