Artefatos culturais como uma metáfora para comunicação de ideias matemáticas
Resumo
Os artefatos culturais criados pela cultura de um determinado grupo de pessoas incorporam ideias e conhecimentos matemáticos sofisticados. Os artefatos culturais familiares aos alunos auxiliam na mediação para comunicar ideias abstratas da Matemática. Este artigo objetiva explorar as ideias matemáticas incorporadas aos artefatos culturais e avaliar sua contribuição para o processo de ensino e aprendizagem da matemática escolar. A metodologia etnográfica foi utilizada para a coleta dos dados. Ideias matemáticas altamente sofisticadas foram encontradas na análise de diferentes artefatos culturais observados no ambiente extra-escolar. Os artefatos culturais familiares aos alunos são o domínio de origem da metáfora conceitual para comunicar conceitos difíceis e abstratos da matemática. Professores e alunos relataram que os artefatos culturais e as diferentes atividades culturais do grupo de pessoas os ajudam a ensinar e aprender conceitos matemáticos.
