Pottery; Ethnomathematics; Learning projectsAbstract
This article collects a learning experience developed jointly between the potters of Miraca, a town in the
state of Falcón (Venezuela) dedicated to the practice of pottery, that is, to the elaboration of vessels and
incomparable pieces of fired clay and the children of the school in the same village; from a field work
deployed as part of the learning projects generated from the area of mathematics; whose purposes were:
to promote in infants the development of their culture through the elaboration of handmade pieces in
clay and to link school mathematical knowledge (calculation, measurement and geometric figures,
among others) with those present in said activity; configured from Ethnomathematics. As theoretical
foundations, among others, the proposals of Ubiratan D´Ambrosio related to Ethnomathematics are
assumed.
