Ethnomathematics : an absolutely essential key for Mathematics Education. Of course, "the way of doing" mathematics, which means the way of teaching and learning it, cannot be reduced unique and universal at least in the very early elementary levels of learning mathematics. In this stage there is no difference between " using mathematics " and "doing mathematics ", infact what we do in the early elementary levels of mathematical education is to explain and to understand in a mathematical language those simple operations which we use to manage the every-day-live: counting, estimating, calculating etc. Needless to say how native algorithms to perform these operations are culturally-dependent and, therefore, are different. That is why the ( Ethno )-Mathematics becomes absolutely essential for mathematics education. The previous explanation DOES NOT imply that Ethnomathematics is ONLY an instrument to improve mathematical education. Indeed, the role of Ethnomathemtics is much more than improvement of way of teaching. During the The Latin-American Seminar of Phylosophy and History of Ideas , in his note entitled ETHNOMATHEMATICS AS REVISIONISM?

Query: by authors name by title The present database is not a catalog nor bibliography , infact it contains only one record (item) for each reference and can be searched only by author's name or by words composing it's title. This finding list is not as complete as possibile, and obviously needs a continuos updating, but I hope, with your help by pointing out to me any missing items and informing me any new ones, we can let it be more efficient instrument.

Key text Published by Australian Academy of Science Sponsored by Advocates of ethnomathematics say it is helping different cultures to understand each other. Printer-friendly version of complete topic The term ‘ethnomathematics’ was first used in the late 1960s by a Brazilian mathematician, Ubiratan D’Ambrosio, to describe the mathematical practices of identifiable cultural groups. Some see it as the study of mathematics in different cultures, others as a way of making mathematics more relevant to different cultural or ethnic groups, yet others as a way of understanding the differences between cultures. But perhaps the most powerful claim for the new discipline has been made by D’Ambrosio himself (quoted in The Chronicle of Higher Education , 6 October 2000): Mathematics is absolutely integrated with Western civilization, which conquered and dominated the entire world. The only possibility of building up a planetary civilization depends on restoring the dignity of the losers and, together, winners and losers, moving into the new. [Ethnomathematics, then, is] a step towards peace. This makes ethnomathematics a rather unusual discipline, because it attempts to meld science and social justice. This isn't something that sits comfortably with many scientists: science, they argue, is science, and trying to make it politically correct will only impede its progress. Some educators fret that teaching mathematics using an ethnomathematical approach reduces it to a social-studies subject that teaches students little about ‘real’ mathematics. Others simply ridicule the whole notion: according to one disparaging journalist, 'Unless you wish to balance your checkbook the ancient Navajo way, it’s probably safe to ignore the whole thing'.

Web Hunt! Mathematics is not a linear science! Cultures all over the world have made important discoveries. As explorers traveled the world, they brought to their own countries the advancements in math and sciences they found in the various places they visited. Textbooks tell us a lot about the Greeks and the Europeans and their marvelous contributions; now your job is to find out what other peoples developed through the years. As you learn some mathematical facts from a variety of cultures, try to decide which you think are the most interesting and important. This may be the basis for your presentation project! Use the following links to help answer the questions below. If you choose to use additional internet sources, that is fine.
