Produktbeschreibung

The work which is titled "Ethnomathematics and Canoe Carving: The Nembe-Ijaw Ethnic group perspective in Bayelsa State" is basically discussing the Native mathematics in canoe carving in Nembe-Ijaw ethnic group. The canoe carving process entails several stages that involve the native mathematics in each stage and the article is limiting its discussion to the following stages: Mathematics Education in tree falling, Mathematics Education in tree preparation, Mathematics Education in log carving, Mathematics Education in firing the hollowed log and Mathematics Education in moving the canoe to Riverside. The paper suggests that whenever these topics: "angles, lines, two dimensional problems (such as trapezium, rectangle, etc), three dimensional problems (such as vector, cuboid, etc), and volume of cylinder, weight, capacity, time, length and distance" are taught in the classroom, the canoe carving processes that involve these areas should be applied. And more of such research works should be carried out to bring the true picture of Ethnomathematics in the African contest; so as to enhance or enrich the teaching of mathematics in Nigerian and other African classrooms.
