Math Is Everwhere
Michael Kanas and Alexcia Sillem, two high school math teachers from Fefan Island, Chuuk, demonstrate concepts of ethnomathematics to draw relationships between math and culture.
Part I: Michael Kanas
Michael uses geometry to measure common features of most Micronesian homesites (water tank, cook house, gravesite, and breadfruit trees).
Part II: Alexcia Sillem
Alexcia uses basic algebra to calculate time, labor, and cost of sewing traditional Micronesian skirts.
