This book presents a collection of ethnomathematical studies of
diverse mathematical practices in Afro-Brazilian, indigenous, rural
and urban communities in Brazil. Ethnomathematics as a research
program aims to investigate the interrelationships of local
mathematical knowledge sources with broader universal forms of
mathematics to understand ideas, procedures, and practices found in
distinct cultural groups. Based on this approach, the studies
brought together in this volume show how this research program is
applied and practiced in a culturally diverse country such as
Brazil, where African, indigenous and European cultures have
generated different forms of mathematical practice. These studies
present ethnomathematics in action, as a tool to connect the study
of mathematics with the students' real life experiences, foster
critical thinking and develop a mathematics curriculum which
incorporates contributions from different cultural groups to enrich
mathematical knowledge. By doing so, this volume shows how
ethnomathematics can contribute in practice to the development of a
decolonial mathematics education. Ethnomathematics in Action:
Mathematical Practices in Brazilian Indigenous, Urban and Afro
Communities will be of interest to educators and educational
researchers looking for innovative approaches to develop a more
inclusive, democratic, critical, multicultural and multiethnic
mathematics education.
