Opposite

Two things that are located or facing directly across. Two opposite numbers are the two numbers that are equidistant from the origin on a number line but in opposite directions from the origin. [4]

kwiskitakitew

Order

To place numbers or objects in a sequential arrangement (e.g., least to greatest or heaviest to lightest). [1]

îyaskohtascikȇwin

Order of operations

A specified sequence in which mathematical operations are expected to be performed. An arithmetic expression is evaluated by following these ordered steps: 1. Simplify within grouping symbols such as parentheses or brackets, starting with the innermost. 2. Apply exponents—powers and roots. 3. Perform all multiplications and divisions in order from left to right. 4. Perform all additions and subtractions in order from left to right. A common way to remember this is to use the acronym BEDMAS: Brackets, Exponents, Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction. Division and multiplication (and addition and subtraction) are to be completed in the order in which they appear from left to right in the expression or equation. [1]

= – 27.75

Ordered pairs

Two numbers, in order, that are used to describe the location of a point on a plane, relative to a point of origin (0,0); for example, (2, 6). On a coordinate plane, the first number is the horizontal coordinate of a point, and the second is the vertical coordinate of the point. [3]

***

tânisi! This is the first Cree Dictionary of mathematical terms. The project coordinator Arzu Sardarli writes that this project “was a challenging two-year endeavor.” How true those words are especially when you consider that the people involved in translating English mathematical terms into Cree all come from different communities and thus speak different dialects. Jerry Saddleback is a Northern Plains (Y) dialect speaker from Maskwacîs, Alberta; Willie Ermine is a Plains Cree (Y) dialect speaker from Sturgeon Lake First Nation, Saskatchewan; and Ida Swan is a Woods Cree (TH) dialect speaker from Pelican Narrows, Saskatchewan. What they put together is an amazing body of work that will be useful in Cree Immersion schools. This Dictionary of mathematical terms in Cree is a wonderful resource. Congratulations to the project team and to the project coordinator Arzu Sardarli for providing us with a much needed resource. Solomon RATT Associate Professor of Cree Language Studies First Nations University of Canada [for the previous edition of the Dictionary] The video of the interview with Solomon Ratt is available on the following website: https://youtu.be/4hqqMO8tejo

Another vital Cree education tool developed by Arzu Sardarli, Ida Swan and illustrated by one of our own fine art students, and soon to be master’s degree recipient, Larissa Kitchemonia. I commend you all for providing other alternative learning strategies by combining Mathematics, Indigenous language, and Indigenous Art. The Cree Dictionary of Mathematical Terms will be the departure point for other educational tools in the future to come.
