| Abstract: | Classifies ethnomathematics in relation to the teaching of formal, academic mathematics. Investigates whether ethnomathematics should replace academic mathematics, be a supplement to the mathematics curriculum, be used as a springboard for academic mathematics, or be taken into consideration when preparing learning situations. Suggests that only formal, academic mathematics is sensitive to the real value of mathematics inherent in cultures and societies. (Author/KHR) |
