    ETHNOMATHEMÁTICS. ISGEm.
     

    ICEM-1 is a center for scientific debate for the contribution of spreading ETHNOMATHEMATICS as a form of thought initiated by the ISGEm group. Ethnomathematics lies at the confluence of mathematics and cultural anthropology.

    ISGEm has emphasized the influences of sociocultural factors on the teaching and learning of Mathematics.

    Since its origen in1985 by D´Ambrosio, members have been doing mathematical and historical studies on multicultural societies, marginal groups, etc. Social and political conditions are analyzed to find more adequate programs in the teaching of Mathematics. In addition, theoretical studies on math Knowledge and its diversity have been done as well as its use in technical, social and scientific contexts.

    The group publishes a newsletter.

    We believe in a wide scope on mathematics and culture, considering:
     

    *mathematics is a cultural product for solving problematic situations.

    *mathematics forms a part of conceiving the world.

    * It´s a gathering center for people involved in mathematics education for the development of dignity, equity and peace for all.
     

      

    THEMES AND OBJETIVES OF THE ICEM-1.
     

    Themes:

    The general themes of the First International Conference on Etnomathematics will be:
     

    1- Etnomathematics: Theory.

    2- Learning and teaching mathematics. The teacher.

    3- Social, cultural and political conditions in mathematical inculturation. The Curriculum.

     Objectives:
      *Contribute to the international expansion of Etnomathematics as a form of thought.

    *Promote intercultural communication in the field of mathematics.

    *Provide an atmosphere of cordiality among teachers and researchers from all countries.
