Post comment Text size: WHEN GOV. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. called multiculturalism "bunk" and "crap" about a year ago, you'd have thought, judging from the reaction of some folks, that he'd just taken out a lifetime membership in the Ku Klux Klan. With the advent of "ethnomathematics," maybe some of those same folks will climb down off the governor's back. But I'm getting just a wee bit ahead of the discussion I had with Ehrlich at the governor's mansion Friday. The governor rehashed that multiculturalism business so he could clarify what his views are - and aren't. In May 2004, state Comptroller William Donald Schaefer complained about a worker at an area fast-food restaurant who had what might be generously called insufficient English skills. Schaefer wondered why new immigrants didn't simply learn English. Gregory Kane E-mail Recent columns The next day Ehrlich expressed his support for Schaefer on a local radio station.

Tracy Hammond Anthropology Masters Thesis: Ethnomathematics: Concept Definition and Research Perspectives Reader 1: Ellen Marakowitz Reader 2: Andrew Kosoresow Abstract Although the term ethnomathematics has been in use in the anthropological literature for quite sometime now, a standard definition of the construct has yet to emerge. More than one definition exists, causing confusion and inhibiting systematic research on the subject. Most definitions loosely refer to it as the study of mathematical ideas of non-literate peoples (e.g., Ascher and Ascher, 1997), thereby ignoring or underplaying its profound relationship to culture. More importantly, current definitions are restrictive and too narrow to adequately explain phenomena that rightfully fall within its realm. Providing a conceptually grounded definition is a necessary first step to galvanize the thinking and investigative activity on the subject. My aim in this thesis is to offer such a definition and to descriptively examine its relevance for theory building and research on ethnomathematics. I start with a brief review of the current definitions of ethnomathematics, highlighting their parochial nature. I then propose an over-arching definition that derives its grounding from interaction and reciprocity-based models. My definition suggests ethnomathematics as the study of the evolution of mathematics that has shaped, and in turn shaped by, the values of groups of people. I then use this definition to historically examine how mathematics, despite its universality and constancy themes, suffers from culture-based disparities and has been influenced in its development by various social groups over time. Specifically, I examine the role of culture in the learning and use of math, gender capabilities in math, and how even racism has played a significant part in the evolution of math.

Of course, the problem there is, whose idea of social justice do we teach? Do we teach the "greater good for society" idea, or the "individual is supreme" idea, or the "down with the man", or the "correct every injustice" idea, or the "I'm a victim, hear me roar" idea, or the "my country, right or wrong" idea, or some other one?

Ethnomathematics: Why? by Wilma Godwin, K-5 Mathematics Facilitator, NC-PIMS Sherman Sumpter , 6-12 Mathematics Facilitator, NC-PIMS (Please note this page is best viewed with Firefox 2.0 and Internet Explorer 7 Abstract Paper References Ethnomathematics: Why? Abstract: Ethnomathematics is the study of mathematics, which takes into consideration the culture in which mathematics arises. We all have some notions of what ethnomathematics is, but should it be influencing school mathematics? An important change in mathematical instruction needs to take place in order to accommodate the change in the demographics of students. Teachers and supervisors need to be instructed in gearing education more toward students of different cultures. This paper describes why and how ethnomathematics should influence mathematics. It emphasizes why ethnomathematics is important in mathematics education and focuses on the way that culture plays an important role in a child's life. The term "ethnomathematics" refers to mathematical concepts embedded in cultural practices. Ethnomathematics: Why?

Rauff E-mail Print Link Mathematics Elsewhere: An Exploration of Ideas across Cultures by Marcia Ascher Princeton University Press, 2002; $24.95 The Incan quipu is an unusual object, an assemblage of slender, knotted cords tied along a thicker, main cord. The cords are dyed a variety of colors: when it's bundled up, a quipu looks like a multicolored mop; when it's spread out, it resembles a long rope necklace or a grass skirt. The quipus of the ancient Incas of Peru encoded a wide range of data about people, land, and crops for the government bureaucracy. The code was efficient and compact: the color, number, and relative spacing of the cords, and the number and type of knots tied into each cord, all held significance. A quipu might include as many as 2,000 cords, in some fifty or sixty different colors. I won't venture to estimate the storage capacity of a quipu in bits or bytes, but the system was, in its unique way, a pre-Columbian database for the Andesan artifact of a mathematical tradition that developed entirely outside Western models.

Ethnomathematics By Diane Ravitch The Wall Street Journal June 20, 2005; Page A14 online.wsj.com/article/0,,SB111922877339463719-email,00.html It seems our math educators no longer believe in the beauty and power of the principles of mathematics. They are continually in search of a fix that will make it easy, relevant, fun, and even politically relevant. In the early 1990s, the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics issued standards that disparaged basic skills like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, since all of these could be easily performed on a calculator. The council preferred real life problem solving, using everyday situations. Attempts to solve problems without basic skills caused some critics, especially professional mathematicians, to deride the "new, new math" as "rainforest algebra." In a comparison of a 1973 algebra textbook and a 1998 "contemporary mathematics" textbook, Williamson Evers and Paul Clopton found a dramatic change in topics. In the 1973 book, for example, the index for the letter "F" included "factors, factoring, fallacies, finite decimal, finite set, formulas, fractions, and functions." In the 1998 book, the index listed "families (in poverty data), fast food nutrition data, fat in fast food, feasibility study, feeding tours, ferris wheel, fish, fishing, flags, flight, floor plan, flower beds, food, football, Ford Mustang, franchises, and fund-raising carnival."

Abstract Sikidy is a system of divination that plays a significant role in the lives of the people of Madagascar. Here we focus on the mathematical ideas which it embodies. Formal algebraic algorithms are applied to initial random data, and knowledge of the internal logic of the resulting array enables the diviner to check for and detect errors. Sikidy and the mathematical ideas within it are placed in their cultural and historical contexts.

Abstract Mathematics anxiety has been identified as a barrier to aboriginal learners who wish to enroll in post secondary education and training in Canada. We examined student beliefs about mathematics anxiety and their perceptions about how increased culturally-relevant mathematical content could enhance their feelings of efficacy in mathematics. We found higher levels of anxiety among aboriginal students; and identified differences between aboriginal and non-aboriginal students' views of how mathematics anxiety can be reduced. Introduction Socio cultural Learning Theory and Mathematics Anxiety Methods Population. Instruments Results Aboriginal students expressed a higher degree of preference for mathematics problems and projects that included indigenous perspectives. This belief was reiterated in both personal interviews and in the written surveys. Transcripts show all aboriginal students expressed considerable enthusiasm for the culturally focused projects, and in particular expressed a desire to learn more about the cultural contributions aboriginal peoples had made. Considerable pride was expressed in the tone and descriptions that these aboriginal students used in their personal interviews. Projects also required students to work collaboratively together, an alternative to the usual individual question/answer cycle, which was also identified as a source of anxiety.

How new technologies are modifying our way of life Web www.primidi.com lundi 26 juin 2006 Ethnomathematics in the classroom Back in 1999, a science professor at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute discovered that fractal geometry was apparent in the designs of many cultures in Africa. Since then, he developed Web tools focused on ethnomathematics the interaction of mathematics and culture. These tools cover a broad range of subjects, from the design of cornrow hairstyles to Mangbetu art, and from Navajo rugs to Yupik parka patterns or even Latin music. Recently, he decided to use these tools to see if they could spark student interest in mathematics . And he found that "students who used the design tools for two hours per day over a two-week period displayed a statistically significant increase in their attitudes toward computers." But read more... Here is an introduction from the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI). Ron Eglash , an associate professor of science and technology studies at RPI,] has uncovered mathematics embedded in the designs of various aspects of native and contemporary culture, from traditional beadwork and basket weaving to modern hairstyles and music. Using the discovery, he’s developed a series of interactive, Web-based teaching tools that are capturing the interest and imagination of students in math classes across the country. Below is an example of the use of one of his "Culturally-Situated Design Tools" (CSDT), the
