NARRATIVES OF A MATHEMATICS UNDERGRADUATE STUDANT:

A LOOK AT MARUANUM AND ETHNOMATHEMATICS

Abstract

This work is a report of an experience that occurred in the Maruanum community between July 24 and December 9, 2023, by a CNPq scientific initiation scholarship holder who is a student at the Instituto Federal do Amapá - IFAP, Macapá campus, in the mathematics undergraduate class. The objective was to investigate black women in the construction of their artistic, religious, sociocultural, and financial freedom, through the production of Maruanum crockery and its contextualization for school mathematics. The report brings a little of what the student was able to witness in the community in conjunction with the experiences acquired by him. The student had the opportunity to meet the Maruanum pottery community and interact with them, in a meeting planned and guided in a conversation circle. It is concluded that it is possible to contextualize school mathematical concepts through the knowledge and skills of the potters.
