For Teachers
Dear Teacher,
The Alliance of Indigenous Math Circles appreciates your involvement with the Bluebird Math Circle. We offer you a certificate granting 3 PD hours when you:
- participate in a live Bluebird MC meeting,
- use the materials after the meeting with a group of people: students, or parents, or neighbors, or other teachers,
- talk to us about that experience via a Zoom meeting or a phone call.

Teacher interview
Alicia Gonzales, Pojoaque Valley Middle School, Santa Fe, NM
“The main reason that I love to teach math is because I was never good at math when I was a student. I always was the student that thought, “I’m so bad at this, and I’ll never get it.” Then, when I was offered the opportunity to get my math teaching degree, I had excellent teachers, who valued what I thought, and who showed me different ways and modeling and how to teach and how to make those connections. So I want to be such a teacher.”
Teacher interview
Craig Young, Tuba City Boarding School, Arizona
“I wanted to use it as a warm up activity, but it just took off to where we used up all the time yesterday. Oh, I had kids that didn’t speak up, I had kids that were quiet. I had kids that were shy. And they were the most active. They were the ones who wanted to try to do it.”
