Why teach all Australian kids about Aboriginal maths?

Teaching Australian children about Aboriginal maths provides a great opportunity to:

  • debunk myths about the limitations of Aboriginal counting
  • reinforce number rules from mainstream maths lessons
  • appreciate that there are different number systems to our own.
