Reflection on Rope Making and Weaving: Sept. 23rd

I really enjoyed this exercise of making rope as it demonstrated to me how we can utilize an Indigenous way of knowing and integrate that into our mathematic education. This activity was also a really interesting activity because of how easy it would be to do this with a class and to link it to mathematical concepts. Encouraging kids to think about Indigenous ways of being and learning from the land is very important to me as our society is taking steps towards reconciliation so this is a way of educating ourselves and our students on such an important issue. I chose to also engage in the bag weaving project which provided a challenge to work out how the bag was constructed and to create a feasible method of creating a bag for myself. The progress I made on the bag is pictures.
