Ethnomathematics
Ethnomathematics is the study of mathematics which takes into consideration the culture in which mathematics arises. Mathematics is often associated with the study of "universals". When we speak of "universals", however, it is important to recognize that often something we think of as universal is merely universal to those who share our cultural and historical perspectives. If we think of mathematics as the development of structures and systems of ideas involving number, pattern, logic, and spatial configuration and then examine how mathematics arises and is used in various cultures, we can gain a much deeper understanding of mathematics.
The development of mathematics is not linear
It is easy to fall into the notion that the study of mathematics began in some primitive unformed state and has been growing and growing towards the advanced state of Western European/North American mathematics, and will continue to grow in this direction. In this view, a mathematical system that arose in a culture different from this "mainstream" might be seen as "contributing" to its development, or it might be perceived as an interesting side brancheven though that mathematics might have arisen to support ideas and activities as important in that culture as the ideas and activities supported by Western mathematics are to the Western World.

ISGEm
International Study Group
on Ethnomathematics
The International Study Group on Ethnomathematics was founded in 1985 by math educators Gloria Gilmer, Ubiratan D'Ambrosio, and Rick Scott. Since that time it has sponsored programs and business meetings at the annual conferences of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (U.S.A.) and at the International Congress of Mathematics Education. In 1990 ISGEm became an affiliate of the U.S. National Council of Teachers of Mathematics.
What is ethnomathematics?
The term was coined by Ubiratan D'Ambrosio to describe the mathematical practices of identifiable cultural groups. It is sometimes used specifically for small-scale indigenous societies, but in its broadest sense the "ethno" prefix can refer to any group national societies, labor communities, religious traditions, professional classes, and so on. Mathematical practices include symbolic systems, spatial designs, practical construction techniques, calculation methods, measurement in time and space, specific ways of reasoning and inferring, and other cognitive and material activities which can be translated to formal mathematical representation. The ISGEm strives to increase our understanding of the cultural diversity of mathematical practices, and to apply this knowledge to education and development.

Ethnomathematics Bibliography
The following bibliography of potentially useful references is organized according to the following scheme:
1) If a source is about one region of the world, it is put in that sub-heading.
2) Within world regions, references are grouped by topic (corresponding largely to the chapters of the text) where possible. Sources in that region that I cannot easily classify are then grouped in that region, sub-heading "Other".
3) After the "Regions" headings, additional sources are grouped according to the mathematical topic; again by chapters of the text.
4) Finally, other sources that I cannot classify easily (general, unclear, or where I cannot be sure of the English translation) are collected at the end as "Unclassified".
Note that "Drawings" means the Eulerian drawings of chapter 2. Sources listed under "Geometry" may sometimes include references to Eulerian drawing topics, or to designs (symmetry patterns). If, when looking at any of these sources, you discover that I have misclassified them or determine the right category for one of the unclassified sources please let me know. Of course I expect that you will also find other sources for me to add to this list!
When I know that a source can be found at the Beloit library, I give its call number following the word "BELOIT". This does

Cultural Approaches to Mathematics
This page is intended to organize a wide variety of information on different areas of "Ethnomathematics", the study of the interaction between mathematics and culture. This information includes some of my lecture notes, a collection of examples and homework problems, and lists of additional references primarily printed references, but also some additional Web pages. Because our students are required to write term papers on a project of their choice, the emphasis in these pages has been on collections of references that might be useful for these projects. The pages of resources are arranged in two groups: by mathematical topic and by cultural region. In general, resources that fit reasonably under a mathematical topic are not also included under the cultural region. As an example, a reference on Native American languages and their number words will be found under the section on "Number Systems", but not also under "North America". On the other hand, a general reference on "Mayan Mathematics" might be found under the collection of references on South America. At present, most of the pages for these sections are under development. Those highlighted as Web links will take you to pages of references, others .... well, come back later and maybe they'll be ready for you then. Even those areas that are highlighted as active will probably have more material on them later.

Mathematics is not a linear science! Cultures all over the world have made important discoveries. As explorers traveled the world, they brought to their own countries the advancements in math and sciences they found in the various places they visited. Textbooks tell us a lot about the Greeks and the Europeans and their marvelous contributions; now your job is to find out what other peoples developed through the years. As you learn some mathematical facts from a variety of cultures, try to decide which you think are the most interesting and important. This may be the basis for your presentation project!

Ethnomathematics : an absolutely essential key for Mathematics Education.
Of course, "the way of doing" mathematics, which means the way of teaching and learning it, cannot be reduced unique and universal at least in the very early elementary levels of learning mathematics. In this stage there is no difference between " using mathematics " and "doing mathematics ", infact what we do in the early elementary levels of mathematical education is to explain and to understand in a mathematical language those simple operations which we use to manage the every-day-live: counting, estimating, calculating etc. Needless to say how native algorithms to perform these operations are culturally-dependent and, therefore, are different. That is why the ( Ethno )-Mathematics becomes absolutely essential for mathematics education. The previous explanation DOES NOT imply that Ethnomathematics is ONLY an instrument to improve mathematical education. Indeed, the role of Ethnomathemtics is much more than improvement of way of teaching. During the The Latin-American Seminar of Phylosophy and History of Ideas , in his note entitled ETHNOMATHEMATICS AS REVISIONISM?

Ethnomathematics is the study of such mathematical ideas involved in the cultural practices of people. The main objective of this site is to analyze African American hair and the Ethnomathematics of complex hairstyles created by hairbraiders. Ethnomathematics promotes the understanding of languages and values, as well as promotes hairbraiders with mathematical ideas. Ethnomathematics deals with the mathematical properties involved with the geometrical designs and patterns used in hair braiding in African American communities. It is helpful for scalp designs to be formed by parting the hair lengthwise, crosswise, or into curves. The concept of Ethnomathematics is for the hairbraider and weaver to understand that mathematics is related to hair braiding. degrees 90 degrees 45 degrees 180 degrees Home Ethnomathematics Patterns Hair cuts ...

of Science Sponsored by Advocates of ethnomathematics say it is helping different cultures to understand each other. Printer-friendly version of complete topic The term ‘ethnomathematics’ was first used in the late 1960s by a Brazilian mathematician, Ubiratan D’Ambrosio, to describe the mathematical practices of identifiable cultural groups. Some see it as the study of mathematics in different cultures, others as a way of making mathematics more relevant to different cultural or ethnic groups, yet others as a way of understanding the differences between cultures. But perhaps the most powerful claim for the new discipline has been made by D’Ambrosio himself (quoted in The Chronicle of Higher Education , 6 October 2000): Mathematics is absolutely integrated with Western civilization, which conquered and dominated the entire world. The only possibility of building up a planetary civilization depends on restoring the dignity of the losers and, together, winners and losers, moving into the new. [Ethnomathematics, then, is] a step towards peace. This makes ethnomathematics a rather unusual discipline, because it attempts to meld science and social justice. This isn't something that sits comfortably with many scientists: science, they argue, is science, and trying to make it politically correct will only impede its progress. Some educators fret that teaching mathematics using an ethnomathematical approach reduces it to a social-studies subject that teaches students little about ‘real’ mathematics. Others simply ridicule the whole notion: according to one disparaging journalist, 'Unless you wish to balance your checkbook the ancient Navajo way, it’s probably safe to ignore the whole thing'.
