Ethnomathematics: An Ethnographic Study of Kermani Carpet Weavers
A. Moraadalizaadeh , A. Rafiepoor
Abstract:   (4040 Views)
 
The history and civilization of the Islamic Iran is witness to the scientific and cultural achievements of Iranians. Although at times these achievements have lost their galore in the eyes of the west, yet they can still be considered not only as a source of pride, but appropriate material for use in the curricula. Ethnomathematics and the use of mathematics in artifacts left behind by the ancient Iranians can be used in the textbooks in order to not only make mathematical concepts more attractive, but help students learn how they can use such concepts. The results of data analyses within the theoretical framework of ethnomathematics and with the use of ethnographic method show that the use of mathematics in our ancestors’ daily lives has been considerable and at times exemplary. That is why introduction and teaching of such activities, not only can increase motivation to learn, but reinforce students’ national identity. Furthermore, indigenous mathematics can lead to our better mathematical standing in the world.
