POSSÍVEIS RELAÇÕES ENTRE A ETNOMATEMÁTICA E A MODELAGEM MATEMÁTICA: UMA INVESTIGAÇÃO A PARTIR DE ARTIGOS CIENTÍFICOS PUBLICADOS ENTRE OS ANOS DE 2020 A 2024

Abstract

This article sought to verify possible relationships between Ethnomathematics and Mathematical Modeling, with a focus on elementary education, through the analysis of scientific articles published between 2020 and 2024, which deal with the themes of Ethnomathematics and Mathematical Modeling. The observed texts were selected from Google Scholar, with searches in this and other repositories, based on combinations of the terms: “Ethnomathematics”, “Mathematical Modeling” and “elementary education”. This is a bibliographic review, with a mixed approach, through the analysis of seven articles that discuss the relationship between Ethnomathematics and Mathematical Modeling, so that, with the exception of article 4, the other authors call this relationship Ethnomodeling. This study is intended to contribute to the understanding of how research on teaching practices with an Ethnomodeling approach has been developed, in addition to highlighting the relevance that the application of activities involving Mathematical Modeling together with Ethnomathematics can provide for the teaching and learning of Mathematics.
