SPECIAL NOTE: This resource was created to celebrate and teach students about the culture of Florida's Native American tribes within the math block. Because these task cards & slides are designed primarily for math problem-solving, they should not replace in-depth, comprehensive lessons about the history of Native Americans and their interactions with other groups of people. These sensitive social studies concepts are not addressed in this resource.
