Through the Standing Rock Strengthening Culture-Based Education Partnership, educators, researchers, and higher education staff are transforming math instruction for Native students in Standing Rock. The team is creating and implementing culturally relevant, project-based elementary math modules to boost student engagement and success. Focused on Indigenous food/crafts, these co-designed modules integrate lived experience and cultural heritage into learning.
