Resumo
Os membros da comunidade possuem uma riqueza de conhecimentos em atividades indígenas e artefatos. A análise das várias atividades e dos artefatos indígenas mostra uma variedade de conceitos e processos matemáticos. Mesmo que alguns membros da comunidade não tenham frequentado a educação formal ou não tenham estudado a um nível significativamente elevado, eles são capazes de utilizar os conceitos matemáticos relacionados com facilidade na medida em que se envolvem nas atividades. Este texto identifica alguns conceitos matemáticos que estão embutidos nas atividades indígenas e mostra como a maioria dos membros da comunidade utiliza esses conhecimentos matemáticos com facilidade. O texto conclui indicando como esse conhecimento pode ser utilizado para avançar a compreensão matemática em sala de aula.
