Scene and Heard Film Series in September

Join us for our monthly Scene and Heard Film Series this month we will be screening, Navajo Math Circles. After the film there will be a discussion with ASU Faculty lecturer Michael Little Crow (Turtle Mountain Anishinaabe-Cree) on the connection between mathematical and cultural concepts of weaving textiles.

About the Film

Navajo Math Circles follows Navajo students in a lively collaboration with mathematicians. Using a model called math circles, the students stay late after school and assemble over the summer at Diné College in Tsaile, Ariz., to study mathematics. The math circles approach emphasizes student-centered learning by putting children in charge of exploring mathematics to their own joy and satisfaction.

Runtime 60 minutes.
