Connecting Math to Our Lives Math Introductions 2001-2002   GHANA: Introduction and local project idea from educator William Asamoah Parbi and students (ages 15-18) at Accra High School in Accra, Ghana. Hello, I am an educationist teaching Mathematics at Accra High school in Ghana. Attached is a photograph of a cultural display of my country men -- a man dressed in female costume standing on a Stilt. Stilt walking is a traditional display as a form of entertainment in Ghana by the people of Winneba. We are interested in investigating and telling you the Mathematics involved. For more information write to orillas-math@igc.org I would like friends to keep their fingers crossed whiles I provide some specifications so that at the end we can make some generalisations. In short friends should start thinking about the maths involve whiles I send more information. By Tutor William Asamoah Parbi.
