Math Mania - Lauwelnew Tribal School

Several Co-op students from UVic Science Outreach and PIMS UVic Education Coordinator David Leeming visited the grade 5-6 class at the ŁÁU,WELNEW Tribal School on the TSARTLIP Reserve at Brentwood Bay to present selected Math Mania activities. The eighteen kids were totally engaged for ninety minutes playing games such as ‘The Penny Game’, 3-dimensional Tic-Tac-Toe and Rhombo, as well as the aboriginal game of Lahal (also known as ‘the bones game’). Teachers, children and volunteers all agreed that this was a very good start to STEM outreach in the local aboriginal schools.
