This research investigates the interaction between writing and basket weaving in the teaching of mathematics in Northwest Amazonia. By undertaking fieldwork in the indigenous school of the Tuyuka people, close to the border between Brazil and Colombia, I propose to analyse how Western mathematical ideas are explored by reference to the shapes, designs and techniques of basketry, and whether, in turn, the Amazonian mathematical ideas embedded in this artform find their way onto notebooks and blackboards. This provides an opportunity to explore in detail how schooling and literacy relate to traditional material culture and indigenous mathematical knowledge.

这项研究调查了在西北亚马逊西北的数学教学中写作与篮子编织之间的相互作用。通过在巴西和哥伦比亚之间的边界附近的土著人学校进行实地调查，我建议分析如何通过参考篮子的形状，设计和技术来探索西方的数学思想，以及，是否又是在这种艺术中嵌入了这些艺术界的数学思想，是否嵌入了这些艺术中的注意书籍和Blackboards和Blackboards。这提供了一个详细探讨教育和识字与传统物质文化和土著数学知识的关系的机会。
