They taught them to hunt and fish and gather. They told them legends of their people (history). As for math and science; if it didn't apply to surviving every day, what was the point?

Home schooling, or 'The School of Hard Knocks'. Most everything was tought through experiecne and demonstration, like hunting, fishing, cultivation and farming, etc. They would have been tought some things in a classroom like environment during evening get togethers as well.

They did a lot of on-the-job training. They learned only skills relevant to their existence, their culture, and their way of life. Girls stayed home with mothers and cooked food, made clothes, or picked berries. Sons went with fathers to stalk and kill animals for food or to kill unfriendly tribes for plunder. Tribal elders taught tribal history and religion. Home schooling did not need to include "reading, 'riting, 'rithmetic" since those skills as we know them were not available in their culture

Through experience. Practical application/real world application is the best way to learn.
