The Robertson Program works collaboratively with educators to create student learning experiences in math and science that are dynamic, imaginative, playful and aesthetically pleasing - as well as highly rigorous.
This Fall, The Robertson Program returned to Pegimagaabo and Onigaming First Nation schools in Northwestern Ontario. This is the third year of their partnership with these schools and the Seven Generations Education Institute. During this visit, the focus of the collaboration broadened beyond geometric and spatial reasoning and began including numeracy development through a visual and spatial lens. Natural Curiosity was also invited by Seven Generations Education Institute to co-develop learning around environmental inquiry with educators from Pegamigaabo and Onigaming First Nation Schools.
In November, educators from these schools visited the Dr. Eric Jackman Institute of Child Study (JICS). Highlights included co-designing new spatial activities that develop numeracy skills in children, observing mathematics lessons in JICS classrooms, connecting with educators at First Nations School of Toronto (TDSB), and participating in an inquiry-based environmental science workshop led by Haley Higdon, the project lead of Natural Curiosity.
