This paper seeks to highlight Excel spreadsheet as a mathematical tool in the creative teaching and learning of traditional counting systems in Papua New Guinea (PNG). PNG is known for its diversity in culture and tradition and so this paper wants to take advantage of the available technology such as spreadsheet to articulate the sort of diversity that exists in our traditional counting systems. In this paper 3 different types of traditional counting systems in certain parts of PNG are being discussed. The first traditional counting system from Mikarew village in the Madang Province, uses a base 2 counting system and is taught in the native language call 'Aruamu' or 'Big Man'. The second one uses a base 5 counting system and comes from Manam in the Madang Province. And finally from East New Britain Province, the traditional counting system is taught in the native language call 'Kuanua' and uses a base 10 approach. Each of this traditional counting system has been taught in the past and at present but without the use of computer-based learning technologies. It is our intention however, that with the current expansion of the One Laptop Per Child project (OLPC) in Primary schools around the country, spreadsheet can be better utilized as a dynamic tool for mathematics education especially in this area of traditional counting. The paper concludes that the way forward for mathematics education in Papua New Guinea, is to embrace technological tools like spreadsheet and use it creatively.
