MATTOS, José Roberto Linhares de y BRITO, Maria Leopoldina Bezerra. Agentes rurais e suas práticas profissionais: elo entre matemática e etnomatemática. Ciência educ. [online]. 2012, vol.18, n.04, pp.965-980. ISSN 1516-7313.
This work is an analysis of the elements of mathematics and ethnomathematics in agricultural practices developed in rural communities, assisted by agricultural technicians, called rural agents, who provide assistance to these communities. Through observation of the activities practiced by these agents in rural communities in the Crato city, located in Ceara state, we identify in this interaction that exists between the rural agent and the peasant, elements of mathematics and ethnomathematics. We discussed the difficulties in fulfilling the tasks of rural agents, the need for knowledge of math in their activities and their learning with the farmer, pointing out key ways to improve the teaching of mathematics in the classroom.
