Abstract

When you are out of your comfort zone, you begin to notice different things, take risks and make sense of it by forming new connections. To make sense of school mathematics, many children need to make links to their cultural experiences. To make sense of the mathematics of different cultures, we need to think differently about mathematics. Ethnomathematics research requires a study of both the relationships of culture and of mathematics, noticing them, often through systematic work. By crossing the borders of academic mathematics, examples of mathematical, cultural relationships are provided.
