Shapes and Numbers in African Languages - Independent Study
This is a collection of links that could be used as an independent study for students to learn numbers and shapes in Swahili, Arabic, and Yoruba. This activity is best geared for independent students who are familiar with internet safety. Some of the links may need to be copied and pasted, but most of them work directly. This resource will likely be updated with better links at a later date. :) Links for Swahili Activity: https://www.spokenswahili.com/blog/shapes-in-swahili/ and https://youtu.

Lebombo and Ishango Bone Math History Mini Project
The Lebombo and Ishango Bones are evidence of the origin of mathematics in Africa. This is a simple worksheet providing questions to guide a google exploration for students about the Lebombo and Ishango Bones.

Teaching style
My teaching style is relaxed and informal. I focus more on creating a comfortable learning environment and connecting with student interests to create a positive math experience. I try to bring in Black and African American history and culture when possible. Most of my activities shared here align with my goal to get more culturally based math activities in the hands of educators everywhere.

Additional biographical information
I firmly stand behind my belief that every person has the potential to be a mathematician. I am spreading this message to students and parents through teaching and tutoring while spreading this message to fellow math educators through enriching professional development.
A math tutor provides knowledge for a moment, but a math aunty provides knowledge for a lifetime. I take care to highlight the problem-solving strategies we are using and how they can be applied to things that interest the student. I also love sharing life lessons through storytelling and garnered the affectionate name of “Aunty Miss D” in the classroom for my skills in mediation, bringing music to the classroom, being corny, and creating a family atmosphere.
