      edit The development and meaning of 'ethnomathematics'
      The term 'ethnomathematics' was introduced by the Brazilian educator and mathematician Ubiratan D'Ambrosio in 1977 during a presentation for the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Since D'Ambrosio put forth the term, people - D'Ambrosio included - have struggled with its meaning. Below is a sampling of some of the definitions of ethnomathematics proposed between 1985 and 2006: "The mathematics which is practiced among identifiable cultural groups such as national-tribe societies, labour groups, children of certain age brackets and professional classes" (D‘Ambrosio, 1985).

When most people think of mathematics, they think of numbers. But mathematics is much more: It also includes skills such as recognizing patterns, storing information, and constructing objects.
What Is Ethnomathematics?
Today, most people around the world are taught mathematics based on the decimal number system and techniques developed by Western mathematicians.
Using Numbers
The Mayan Zero
They developed a counting system that used dots, lines, and a drawing of a shell. Each dot represented one, a line represented five, and the shell represented zero. These symbols were grouped together to form a base 20 number system. The system appears more complicated than the decimal system, and also has a strong link to astronomy.
Some of the Mayan people were keen astronomers, and the number system they developed helped them
to track the movement of the sun, the moon, and the planet Venus. Using their mathematical skills, they developed some of the most accurate calendars that we know of. Incan Quipu
A quipu is a length of string in which knots are tied, and which is usually attached to a belt or a thicker length of string. The knots were used to represent numbers. The Incas used a decimal number system, and this meant that they also used the number zero.

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.

of Science KEY TEXT
This topic is sponsored by Pacific Resources for Education and Learning Advocates of ethnomathematics say it is helping different cultures to understand each other. 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'.

Ethnomathematics: Why%3f Abstract:
Ethnomathematics is the study of mathematics, which takes into consideration the culture in which mathematics arises. We all have some notions of what ethnomathematics is, but should it be influencing school mathematics%3f An important change in mathematical instruction needs to take place in order to accommodate the change in the demographics of students. Teachers and supervisors need to be instructed in gearing education more toward students of different cultures. This paper describes why and how ethnomathematics should influence mathematics. It emphasizes why ethnomathematics is important in mathematics education and focuses on the way that culture plays an important role in a child's life. The term "ethnomathematics" refers to mathematical concepts embedded in cultural practices. Ethnomathematics: Why%3f The term ethnomathematics was first used in the late 1960s by a Brazilian Mathematician, Ubiratan Dambrosio, 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.

Education K-12 Education Diane Ravitch , Nonresident Senior Fellow, Governance Studies The Wall Street Journal It seems our math educators no longer believe in the beauty and power of the principles of mathematics. They are continually in search of a fix that will make it easy, relevant, fun, and even politically relevant. In the early 1990s, the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics issued standards that disparaged basic skills like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, since all of these could be easily performed on a calculator. The council preferred real life problem solving, using everyday situations. Attempts to solve problems without basic skills caused some critics, especially professional mathematicians, to deride the "new, new math" as "rainforest algebra."

jeito: on the doing of ethnomathematics
Introduction Many of us equate modern mathematics with Europe, North America and ancient Greece. The growth of a word-wide or internationalized culture (globalization), has made for numerous discoveries from outside this traditional sphere. Most notably: ethnomathematics. The field of ethnomathematics - has important Brazilian roots. In recognizing this, I have chosen the Portuguese word "jeito" - the unique Brazilian way of getting things done, as the name for this paper for a number of reasons. Most importantly, the use of this Brazilian word for this paper honors the two founders of the concept of ethnomathematics, the late Paulo Freire and my dear friend, mentor and colleague, Ubiratan D'Ambrosio. The word "jeito" seems apropos for the title of this work, as so much of ethnomathematics has come to be connected to the culture, people, and history of Brazil through the philosophy and work of Paulo Freire.
Overview, Description and Background Information Ethnomathematics forms the intersection set between mathematics and cultural anthropology. The term, coined in 1968 by Brazilian educator Ubiratan D'Ambrosio, has its roots in the ideas and philosophy of the late Paulo Freire. Many ethnomathematicans seek to document the kind of mathematics used by indigenous peoples in numerous locations world-wide. As well, ethnomathematics possesses a strong link to multicultural mathematics. Many ethnomathematicans are involved in active research - the documentation and empowerment of people through the mathematics that particularly underrepresented peoples have used for centuries. D'Ambrosio has described ethnomathematics by looking at its etymology

An Ethnomathematics Approach to Teaching Language Minority Students
David M. Davison
Limited English proficient (LEP) students experience difficulties in learning mathematics that may have little to do with difficulties in processing mathematical ideas. When these LEP students are from different cultures, speak languages other than English as their primary language, and have preferred differences in cognitive processing, the typical approach to organized mathematics instruction observed in American classrooms today is not appropriate. An ethnomathematics approach to the curriculum is advocated in this paper as a means of addressing this concern. D'Ambrosio (1985) defines 'ethnomathematics' as the mathematics needed by a particular subgroup of the population, be it an occupational group or a cultural group. Ethnomathematics includes curricular relevance, but is much more than building a curriculum around the local interests and culture of the learners. This local focus can become limited to the mathematics the students want to study, which they see related to either their traditional or emerging roles. While it is important not to ignore this local perspective, such an approach can overlook the organization of mathematical ideas and preclude the development of a structured mathematics curriculum. The goal is to provide students with mathematics content and approaches that will enable them to successfully master modern mathematics. An ethnomathematics approach to the curriculum can be a vehicle for achieving such a goal.
