Abstract

The study aimed to establish a relationship between the methodological pluralism of Paul Feyerabend and Ethnomathematics, pointing out some implications for the teaching of mathematics, especially in Basic Education and learning of mathematics concepts. The research was conducted with communities of immigrants and descendants of Ukrainian located in the Center-South region of Paraná, specifically concerns the forms that such individuals carry out the reading of clocks. The results point to forms of expression that may be related to characteristic cultural mathematical knowledges of this social group. These expressions denote a cultural identity that should be taken into account in the mathematical concepts teaching process, to establish a dialogue between the formal mathematical constructions and characteristics of this culture.
