Model It! Building and Sustaining Cultural Traditions with Ethnomodeling
Siddhi Desai; Farshid Safi
Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, v116 n10 p782-787 2023
A primary goal of ethnomodeling is to value, sustain, and in some instances introduce cultural practices and traditions that have often been lost or overshadowed because of an emphasis on modern methods (Orey & Rosa, 2010). Through an ethnomodeling task focusing on geometric transformations, the authors share a Model It! activity to engage students in mathematical experiences that are culturally responsive and connected to their backgrounds, cultures, and identities (e.g., ethnomathematics) while simultaneously integrating rich mathematical content (e.g., mathematical modeling). As conceptualized in Desai (2022), the ethnomodeling task is outlined in three phases: (a) task launch, (b) mathematizing and finding a solution, and (c) reflections and connections.
