We want mathematics to be a process of miyō-pimōhtēwin (walking in a good way). Using a narrative inquiry methodology, we share our experiences working alongside two Cree elementary school teachers and the students in their mathematics classroom. The teachers taught principles that balance kohtawān (our spiritual being) and make curriculum into a relational space. The principles invite school mathematics to be learned and taught in a way that foregrounds self-awareness, doing things properly, learning new ways, being thankful, being humble, leaving problems behind you, helping yourself and keeping trying. This paper also demonstrates a promising practice of Indigenization in the mathematics classroom by providing a contextual way in which Cree students and teachers engaged in school mathematics in relational ways.

The achievement of Mathematics contestants from the City of Makassar is very concerning. In March 2018 elementary school mathematics competition was held. Of the 186 participants from Makassar, there were only 56 students who got scores above zero. Only about 30%. Other students get zero or less than zero (negative). There was a decrease in interest and achievement in Mathematics in elementary school students in Makassar. The solution offered was training for Mathematics Elementary School teachers by emphasizing learning method with playing. This is intended so that children have enjoyed Mathematics from the beginning so that in the future the interest in learning Mathematics will be even greater.

Appropriate training for elementary school teachers who provide instruction in mathematics has been a concern of long standing. This concern has been in creased in recent years as various exploratory programs have begun to exert an influence on the content of the elementary school mathematics curriculum.

Problem solving is one of the most important mathematical abilities that teachers can foster in students, as evidenced by its prominent role in NCTM's Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics (1989) and An Agenda for Action (1980). Because of the increased availability of calculators and computers, knowledge of which computations are necessary is more important than proficiency in carrying out those computations. As a result, elementary school teachers are being encouraged and entreated to teach problem solving. However, teaching such a topic at higher cognitive levels is far from easy; the key is to be able to ask good questions. Because excellent problem-solving questions are seldom created “on the spot,” teachers will benefit from writing lesson plans that include questions they can ask at crucial moments, keeping in mind they may not need the questions at all.

In elementary school mathematics, the application of many methods is less common in high school practice. Therefore, in this study, we studied the opinion of students who will become teachers in primary school mathematics about the application of many methods in mathematics. Before and after the elective course, students are asked questions to determine the advantages and disadvantages of using several methods and interviewed, analyzed the results and made conclusions.

The application of character learning to elementary mathematics requires certain techniques. In the mathematics of elementary school teachers should use abstract media. Problems that arise in elementary school mathematics teacher in Kecamatan Negeri Katon is lack of knowledge in using props, in this case on FPB material and KPK. In addition, teachers are still confused in choosing the props that should be used on every learning material. To overcome this is used DAKOTA props that can facilitate students' understanding in learning FPB and KPK materials. The method used in this devotion is the making of DAKOTA props using rigid boards. From the results of this devotion activity obtained the spirit of mathematics teachers and the emergence of ideas to make props on other learning materials.

The recent revolution in school mathematics—the term associated with developments which have produced the so-called modern programs in mathematics—has presented a challenge to elementary school teachers. The challenge is to acquire sufficient background in mathematics to enable them to provide effective instruction in the mathematics program presently suggested for the elementary school.

The model of instruction that goes from the concrete to the abstract is widely accepted. Texts that describe me thods of teaching e lementary school mathematics use it, and instructors of mathematics methods classes for prospective elementary school teachers advocate its use. The intent of such texts and c lasses is obviously to prepare teachers who are familiar with such a model and can apply it in the classroom.
