Answer: A.He learned his basic numbers by helping his father count and sort the rocks to be used in the sweat-lodge . . . and he was taught to learn mathematics by counting the sticks we use in our traditional native hand game.

In this passage, Lake argues that Wind-Wolf is as smart as any other kid in the class. He knows his basic numbers, and he knows mathematics. However, while he wants to emphasize that the kid is intelligent, he also wants the reader to know that he comes from a different culture. He tells us that instead of learning math the way most children do (in school), he learned them by participating in the practices of his tribe.
