Ethnomathematics Mae 5690 Course description Curriculum Assessment : Research Projects Student comments Course Description Ethnomathematics (MAE 5690) is a graduate mathematics education course demonstrating mathematics as a cultural product. The course includes mathematics learning while focusing on the cultural origins of the mathematical constructs. During the summer of 1997 this course was taught to practicing elementary and middle school teachers in the Dade County Schools Project (DCSP). The DCSP was a three year distance education program offered by The Florida State University and Dade County Public Schools. During the summer, classes were offered in Miami, FL while students participated in distance learning activites during the academic year. Teachers involved in the project were highly motivate and involved in developing both their mathematical and pedagogical ability. Teachers from "critically low" schools were given preferential placement. Curriculum ETHNOMATHEMATICS MAE 5690 Summer 1997 Credit: 3 hours Instructors: Dr. Norma Presmeg

It is a subject that values and recognises the contributions of non-European cultures to the development of mathematics. Ethnomathematicians attempt to describe and understand the mathematical world as others see it, to give mathematics a more global perspective. This paper, based on research conducted for my masters thesis reports on mathematical ideas related to counting that are found in Maldivian society and are related to traditional and cultural contexts, so that these ideas can be considered for inclusion in future primary mathematics curricula in Maldives. 1.

Ethnomathematics: A Multicultural View of Mathematical Ideas Ethnomathematics: A Multicultural View of Mathematical Ideas by Authors: Marcia Ascher Released: 01 May, 1994 ISBN: 0412989417 Paperback Sales Rank: List price: Our price: You save: Book > Ethnomathematics: A Multicultural View of Mathematical Ideas > Customer Reviews: Average Customer Rating: Ethnomathematics: A Multicultural View of Mathematical Ideas > Customer Review #1: An exploration of mathematics in traditional peoples In the current atmosphere of political correctness and emphasis on multicultural attributes, it was inevitable that the mathematical air would be affected. However, any examination of obscure cultures presents an opportunity to lose perspective. It is very easy to examine a cultural attribute, explain it via abstract mathematics, and then call that an example of mathematical sophistication. For as all mathematics teachers know, the ability to do a particular application in no way means that the person knows the theory or can apply it in another context. The author makes an occasional and fairly deep penetration into this pitfall, but on the whole maintains a balanced outlook. Ethnomathematics is given the definition, "study of the mathematical ideas of traditional peoples," and is a loose marriage of mathematics and anthropology. The primary cultures investigated are the Inuit, Navajo, and Iroquois of North America; the Incas, the Malejula, Warlpiri, Maori, and Caroline Islanders of the Pacific; and the Tshokwe, Bushoong, and Kpelle of Africa. Since the vast majority of potential readers have never heard of most of these cultures, reading the book has value as a simple exercise in horizon expanding. In all cases the level of mathematics is not deep, but some exposure to the particular concept is essential.

Is 1+1=2? As any schoolboy or -girl knows, mathematics is not ethnocentric only people (and their attendant pedagogical practices) are. Does ethnomathematics secrete a corrupt (ethnocentric) ethics and rest on a naive "constructivist" epistemology? Mathematical entities and relations submit to our (cultural, raced-based, gender-specific, or personal) wishes and intentions to the same degree as, apparently, our capacity, as ethnomathematicians, to think clearly about and act ethically in the world: viz., not at all! (Of course, some of us are determined, against every bit of logic and normative theorizing, to have our way in the world.) Dont waste your money or time on this work of fiction.

Rauff Mathematics Elsewhere: An Exploration of Ideas across Cultures by Marcia Ascher Princeton University Press, 2002; $24.95 The Incan quipu is an unusual object, an assemblage of slender, knotted cords tied along a thicker, main cord. The cords are dyed a variety of colors: when it's bundled up, a quipu looks like a multicolored mop; when it's spread out, it resembles a long rope necklace or a grass skirt. The quipus of the ancient Incas of Peru encoded a wide range of data about people, land, and crops for the government bureaucracy. The code was efficient and compact: the color, number, and relative spacing of the cords, and the number and type of knots tied into each cord, all held significance. A quipu might include as many as 2,000 cords, in some fifty or sixty different colors. I won't venture to estimate the storage capacity of a quipu in bits or bytes, but the system was, in its unique way, a pre-Columbian database for the Andesan artifact of a mathematical tradition that developed entirely outside Western models.

Years ago Bob Seger sang the song "Feel Like a Number": credit card numbers, Social Security Numbers, and PINS are now a part of daily life for most in the United States. The census, opinion polls, and aggregate demographic data used for marketing purposes further underscore the importance of numbers and their manipulation in modern society. Debates about "quantitative" versus "qualitative" judgments influence topics as diverse as pedagogy and the physical sciences. Digital computers processing strings of 1s and 0s might as well serve as a symbol of the age. synthetic and thus led to new knowledge, yet at the same time was a priori . Having taught math for a number of years, Kant was no mathematical neophyte, yet what Kant understood as mathematical was limited by the Western mathematical tradition to which he was exposed. Indeed, many histories of mathematics treat the history of mathematics as a tradition that has progressed over the ages, building piece of knowledge upon piece of knowledge. Such a project contains contributions not only by "modern" cultures, but also by "classical" cultures that left us written records, be they Greek, Indian, or Arab.

It is important to ponder the impact of the Inquisition, as it began in 1492 and officially ended in 1821. Two popular projects immediately come to mind. The first is Spain's most important literary work, Don Quixote, by Cervantes, that shows the Inquisition picture in a way that Cervantes reported it, yet personally escaped the dungeons. A more recent USA project was the movie, The Mission, staring Robert De Niro, playing a South American slaver, turned Jesuit. Laura' reporting of Inca history, from the Incan point of view, as written up by F. Valera is also important to consider. It explains why the quipu, first reported to modern archaeology in the 1920's was ignored as containing jibberish. Even today
