Etic Approach, Ethnomodelling, Freedom QuiltsAbstract
The mathematical practices of members of different cultural groups can be translated and understood through the study of Ethnomodelling. The understanding of emic, etic, and dialogical approaches is essential for a coherent translation of local mathematical practices developed by group members. Ethnomodels can be a valuable tool in the appreciation, explanation and understanding of mathematical knowledge brought by different cultural groups. This article seeks to exemplify and theorize the practice of ethnomodelling in the classroom, demonstrating that it is possible to use mathematics in different creative ways by using African cultural artifacts called Freedom Quilts, demonstrating one of the mathematical properties present in the Shoo Fly Quilt.
