Ethnomathematics as a way for mobilizing knowledge in the mathematics curriculum

Authors

Abstract

This article, as part of the Course Conclusion Work to be defended in the Mathematics Degree, at the State University of Bahia - UNEB / Campus X, aims to present discussions of how Ethnomathematics is born within curricular theories and the possibility of building a Mathematics curriculum in a sociocultural perspective. Ethnomathematics, combined with a critical educational perspective, is presented as a possibility for guiding the curricula of Mathematics, in an attempt to make it more consistent with the needs found in the classroom. It also presents the search for a Mathematical Education that recognizes its capacity to intervene in the power relations of society, in the construction and recognition of the individual's identity, as well as, of the socio-cultural relations present in the process of educating, aiming at a Mathematical education transformative and meaningful.

Key words: Ethnomathematics; Mathematical Education; curriculum.
