Mayan Numerals
		Studying Mayan Numerals makes a good connection between Math and Social Studies. Lessons on Mayan Numerals can be designed for a wide range of ages. For the primary grades it may be fun to look at this concept using shells, pebbles, and stones. This will help the students learn about place values, and the sorting and collection of different objects. For grades 4 - 6 manipulatives may also be used and then the students can go on to try some problems on their own (suggested exercises given). A Mayan Numerals lesson would also lend nicely to teaching about time and the cycle of a year.

The Household Environment Survey - School Edition
		This is one of a collection of teaching activities on Statistics Canada's Web site. The ability to collect and analyse statistical information is an important skill in the current curriculum. With the support of Professor Dick Mansfield and Peter K. MacLeod of the Canadian Council for Geographic Education, we have developed a school edition of the Household Environment Survey. By making this survey available to schools and having it completed by students, we hope to demonstrate the challenges and importance of statistical data collection; improve educators' and students' knowledge of data collection methods and analytical techniques; and provide cross curricular materials to the education community.
