Etnomatemática no cenário agrícola de Aratuba

Abstract

This paper aims to understand how the teaching-learning process takes place through ethnomathematics, and how it brings contributions to teaching as a whole. As ethnomathematics analyzes the mathematical practices existing in the most diverse cultures, this way it comes to observe how this process can occur through the contextualization of mathematical knowledge worked in the classroom, and the reality in which students from the rural area of Aratuba are inserted. The search for new methodologies for a better understanding of the content leads us to relate the mathematics of the student's daily life, bringing theory to practice, whether in the production of corn, beans or even in the production of vegetables, so this study aims to bring the students closer contents taught to the student's experience, removing the student's preconceptions that the subject is difficult, since it is present in our daily lives.
