Synopsis

Let's Build a Canoe for eighth-grade mathematics is a Hawaiian canoe-themed textbook for teaching U.S. standardized mathematical concepts to students in Hawai'i and the Pacific.

The STEMD2 Book Series for eighth-grade mathematics was developed as part of a technology- enabled pedagogical approach (Ne'epapa Ka Hana model) for teaching mathematics in Hawai'i middle schools. This book series seeks to provide Hawai'i middle school teachers resources and training to incorporate problem-based learning, social learning and inclusive pedagogy through a culturally relevant mathematics curriculum.

The series currently includes:
· Let's Build a Canoe – Student Activities and Teacher's Guide (Common Core aligned)
· Let's Play the Ukulele – Student Activities and Teacher's Guide (Common Core aligned)
· Let's Go Fishing – Student Activities and Teacher’s Guide (SBAC aligned)
· Let's Make Da Kine – Student Mini Projects and Teacher’s Guide (Skill development)

The printed and online resources produced by NKH through STEMD2 are fully aligned with the Common Core Standards for Mathematical Practice and Content and the Smarter Balanced Assessments for mathematics. Based on the GO Math! curriculum structure, the NKH STEMD2 book series and social learning platform (www.stemd2.com) is flexible for teachers to implement partially or fully in their classrooms, as a tool to encourage students' interest and achievement in STEM subjects.

Funded by a three-year grant from the Department of Education's Native Hawaiian Education Act Program, Ne'epapa Ka Hana is a project of the STEMD2 Research & Development Group in the Center on Disability Studies at the University of Hawai'i at Manoa.
