Mankala colhe três: propostas de construção deste jogo etnomatemático com materiais de baixo custo

Abstract

The objective of this work is to present some proposals for the construction of the ethnomathematical game Mankala Colhe Três using low-cost materials. As this work is a construction proposal, our suggestions were in the direction of using three low-cost materials: the pizza box, the egg carton and the styrofoam. Each of these materials is easy to acquire, and can be found in stores and/or supermarkets, as well as in the homes of teachers and students. In this sense, it is expected that these suggestions can help the basic education teacher to expand their range of options when teaching mathematics, since many students often lose their fear of this misunderstood discipline, through different activities.
