Alfabetização cultural Ka’apor: etnomatemática nas práticas de cestarias e grafismo corporal

Abstract

This research reports work experiences in indigenous School Education, with teaching practices focused on themes, which, based on the cultural knowledge and actions of Ka’apor students, address how these are related or not to the National Common Curricular Base - BNCC. The aim is to reflect on how to work with these contexts in school spaces, in a way that can serve as a reference for other professionals and provide guidance on an intercultural and interdisciplinary teaching and learning proposal that contributes to the process of teaching and learning mathematics in order to visualize the importance of cultural elements such as: making wasahã (bread pan), ka'apor body graphics, among others culminating in the creation of an educational product entitled “Ka’a ro hehe ukwaha ke” Knowledge Notebook: Ethnomathematic Literacy in the Ka’apor Culture. To this end, the contents of mathematics stand out: geometric figures, counting and length measurement, with the purpose of valuing the knowledge and practices of the community in dialogue with mathematical knowledge, which through methods of ethnographic research, bibliographical research and the experiences lived through participant observation with the Ka'apor students, point us to methodological paths for developing materials aimed at differentiated teaching practices, as possibilities in adding and valuing the forms of subsistence and survival of the Ka'apor people.
