dc.description.abstract	In this research we explored how to enrich current California curriculum in algebra. There are four components of this study. The first part focused on understanding Mayan mathematics in modern context of moduli arithmetic. The second included design and implementation of Mayan based mathematical activities into algebra classroom. The third part concentrated on collection and analyzing of data on students' learning through the activities and the changes in their attitudes. Lastly, we analyzed examples of mathematical artifacts we have collected in Guatemala.	en
