Enculturation with Ethnomathematical Microprojects: From Culture to Mathematics

Abstract

Ethnomathematics is a research program that focuses on the relationships between
\nmathematics and culture. What impact does this vision have on mathematics education? We
\napproach this question from two points of view that require: 1) some substantial methodological changes and 2) some changes on how to approach the content. We wish to focus here on teachers training in primary education in Argentina. We present a way to integrate methodology and content: the Microproject and we report an experience with Argentinian pre-service teachers.
