Resumen
CASTRO INOSTROZA, Ángela et al. Mathematical notions evidenced in the daily practice of a carpenter from south Chile. Rev. Cient. [online]. 2020, n.39, pp.278-295. ISSN 0124-2253. https://doi.org/10.14483/23448350.16270.
Despite the cultural wealth that exists in Chile, there are few studies that relate the mathematical notions present in cultural activities typical of the areas, such as the making of furniture. Based on the universal activities proposed by Bishop (1999), we characterize the mathematical notions present in the work of a carpenter from the south of Chile when he makes a bed-type piece of furniture and in some explanations about the making of a ship. Based on an exploratory qualitative methodology with an ethnographic approach, we conclude that in the work of making and preparing this type of furniture it is possible to identify universal mathematical activities. Finally, we reflect on how these notions could be linked with the Chilean curriculum, and the importance of relating the mathematics present in activities typical of each area in the classroom.
