O Ensino de matemática em dialogicidade com a identidade étnico-cultural do povo indígena Xukuru do Ororubá: um estudo sobre os polígonos a partir da pintura corporal

Abstract

This article aims to report an experience lived in the discipline of mathematics in a class of 7th grade A of Elementary School of the Ororubá State Indigenous School, located in the Xukuru do Ororubá Indigenous Territory, municipality of Pesqueira-PE. We approach the polygons content by relating it to the line of body painting used by the Xukuru do Ororubá indigenous people, as a cultural element that has historical and spiritual significance. The experience resulted in the reflection of using mathematics through elements present in students 'daily lives, aiming to analyze how the use of body painting linked to polygons content can contribute to the strengthening of students' ethnic-cultural identity.
