Cassava flour production in the Quilombola Santa Luzia do Maruanum Community: following ethnomathematical paths

The process of producing flour begins with the planting of cassava and ends with the roasting and sale of the products. Observing this process encourages us to look at the ethnomathematical paths of this production and apply them to the classroom. In this context, the objective is to analyze the production of cassava flour in the knowledge/doing for socioeconomic equity in the Quilombola Santa Luzia do Maruanum Community. The qualitative approach and ethnographic research allow the use of instruments such as discussion circles, participant observation, and audio and video capture. However, Mr. José do Carmo's narrative is the focus of the analyses, discussions, and results. It is concluded that the beings, knowledge, and doings make it possible to contextualize some school mathematical concepts, reinforcing identities and local belonging.
