RESUMO:

The present thesis aimed to understand the mathematics used in the aesthetic construction of
craftwork bedspreads and carpets in Resende Costa, estate of Minas Gerais, Brazil, as well as
its relationship with the Ethnomathematics Program, since the Resende Costa’s handmade
weaving is integrated with cultures and techniques permeated by knowledge that is part of the
community’s cultural heritage, representing a protected and documented immaterial asset. For
this, this research work was conducted under the perspective of Ethnomathematics and had as
main theoretical reference the contributions of the author Ubiratan D’Ambrósio. Thus, it was
questioned about the correspondence between school mathematics and the know-do present in
Resende Costa’s weaving, considering, in particular, the making of designs on bedspreads and
carpets. It was also questioned whether the dimensions of the Ethnomathematics Program are
observed in the know-do of this weaver community and what are its specific characteristics.
Therefore, the group chosen for this study was formed by locals which develop decorative
patterns in the manual loom. In all, 18 weavers answered an interview questionnaire, and
there was also the observation of the making of carpets carried out by two weavers, following
the designs making. Thus, there was an approximation between this art and mathematics
based on data collection in the field, in order to understand the knowledge and practices of
these subjects in relation to the weaving and mathematics used. Therefore, this study is based
on the ethnographic procedure with regard to an exploratory qualitative research that used
interviews and participant observations of the moderate type, with image, audio and video
recording. The results indicated the discovery of a particular universe, that is, both in terms of
the weaver community's way of life and in the field of mathematics. In this sense, it was
found that, for the exercise of this handmade activity in the making of quilts and carpets with
drawings, the weavers make use of counting numbers, numerical line, basic operations,
measurements, symmetry principle, mirrored figures, notions basics of geometry and plane
geometry. During the research path, there was also the perception that this weaving activity
has some characteristics that fit the conceptual, historical, cognitive, epistemological, political
and educational dimensions of the Ethnomathematics Program. Finally, a proposal was made
for the inclusion of Resende Costas’s weaving in Mathematics Education.
