O cultivo do abacaxi e a etnomatemática: relações com as unidades temáticas da BNCC

Abstract

This Course Conclusion Paper (TCC) is a research included in the area of Teaching and Learning Mathematics, which aims to investigate the mathematical knowledge of farmers who cultivate pineapple in the rural community of Lagoa de Fora, city of Itapororoca/PB and relate this knowledge to the BNCC’s thematic units. The research is characterized, in terms of its approach, as qualitative, in terms of objectives, it is exploratory in nature, and when carried out with farmers in a specific community it can be characterized as a case study. The theoretical basis of the research was carried out through the study of books, theses, dissertations and articles on the Ethnomathematics Program that served as a subsidy to investigate the mathematical knowledge of farmers, as well as to relate them to school knowledge. In order to collect the necessary information for research investigation, interviews were carried out with five farmers, and the whole process of pineapple cultivation was also observed, in order to capture all the details of this planting. The analysis of the interviews showed that the relationships established between the mathematical knowledge of farmers and the thematic units of the BNCC can promote mathematical learning that gives meaning to the content taught in the classroom.
