Sophia from the University of Canterbury came to visit us last Friday to teach us about the Kaktovik number system. Room 4 worked on a new system, some found it a bit difficult to comprehend at first as it was totally new to all of us... We were able to work out some simple addition and subtraction problems.
From the internet:
The Kaktovik numerals or Kaktovik Iñupiaq numerals are a base-20 system of numerical digits created by Alaskan Iñupiat. They are visually iconic, with shapes that indicate the number being represented.
