That various cultures have different ways
of imagining, using, representing
mathematical concepts
That learning how other people think about 
and use math can help us develop our own
understanding

That, when gathering information about
cultures other than our own, it is best to
seek the most reliable information possible
significant use of probability and statistics for at least
one First Nations or Métis peoples from a variety of
sources such as elders and traditional knowledge
keepers
Compare the significance, representation and use of
probability and statistics for different First Nations and
Métis peoples and other cultures
Communicate concretely, pictorially, visually,
physically and/ or in writing what has been learned
about the envisioning, representing and use of
probability and statistics by FNM peoples and how
these understandings differ, parallel, and enhance
one’s own mathematical understandings about
probability and statistics
ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS
How are probability and statistics important to First Nations and Métis peoples?
How do other cultures envision, represent and use mathematical concepts? How is this the same or different from the
understanding we have been engaged in?
Why learn about how other people think about and use math?
How do I find reliable information about other cultures?
