El uso de juegos indígenas en la enseñanza y aprendizaje de las Matemáticas
Resumen
Los juegos indígenas juegan un papel importante en varias comunidades. A pesar de las investigaciones que indican que estos juegos pueden usarse para avanzar y crear una conexión entre las actividades del aula y los contextos de la vida real, pero, la conexión no se ha explorado adecuadamente para hacer de esto una realidad en muchas aulas de matemáticas. Este artículo informa sobre los diversos juegos indígenas que son una característica en Sudáfrica y en la región de África del Sur. El artículo identifica una serie de juegos indígenas que son populares en Sudáfrica y cómo dichos juegos se han utilizado para promover el patrimonio cultural. El artículo también analiza ejemplos del uso de tales juegos en la enseñanza y el aprendizaje de las matemáticas en las escuelas.
