The Sociopolitical Turn in Mathematics Education (2013, background): “…Borba and Skovsmose (1997) as well as Skovsmose and Valero (2001) for a good discussion of this underlying myth of a utilitarian mathematics and D’Ambrosio (1990, 2006), Powell and Frankenstein (1998), and Gutiérrez (2002) for a discussion of a more humanizing mathematics. teachers are…”
Culturally relevant pedagogy : an ethnomathematical approach. (2010, background): “…different ways in which people resolve problems and the practical algorithms on which they base these mathematical perspectives becomes relevant for any real comprehension of the concepts and the practices in the mathematics that they have developed over time (D’Ambrosio, 2006; Rosa & Orey, 2008).”
Re-mythologizing mathematics through attention to classroom positioning (2009, background): “Ethnomathematics takes the view that all mathematics is cultural (e.g., D’Ambrosio, 2006) and so claims that any mathematics is set in human story.”
Current and Future Perspectives of Ethnomathematics as a Program (2016, background): “Some believe that ethnomathematics, the mathematics of identifiable cultural groups (D’Ambrosio 2006), can help in this process of contextualization and, furthermore, the humanization of mathematics (Palhares 2012).”
