Abstract

: This essay presents some of the experiences as a student of the Pedagogy Course, at the Faculty of Education, at the Federal University of Pará - UFPA. The objective is to discuss the subjects taught in the subjects related to the teaching of mathematics in the Early Years of Elementary School. To this end, we chose the mandatory Curricular Component Theoretical-methodological approaches to School Mathematics and highlighted the Ethnomathematics trend and its applicability to the teaching of Space and Form for students in this stage of Basic Education. The qualitative approach was used, which included a bibliographic text search by the authors D’Ambrósio (2005); Fiorentini (1994); Smole (2012); Rodrigues (2005); and Rodrigues (2019). An analysis of the activities carried out during the discipline was also developed. The results indicate the importance of knowing the Ethnomathematics trend and its methods since it presents an important possibility of teaching the knowledge of Mathematics to students of the Early Years of Elementary School.
