SUMMARY:

This research proposes and analyzes the use of the African games Mancala (Oware from Ghana) and Shisima from Kenia, to a differentiated Mathematics teaching in Basic Education. This proposal has focused on the 6th grade of elementary school and it has obtained satisfactory results in students deductive mathematical thinking development, through Mancala use and the didactic sequences studied in this research. Even more, Mancala has corroborated in solving problems using games from other cultures. This research has been addressed in order to attend the Law 10.639 / 03, about the “african-brazilian history” inclusion at the oficial educational curriculum in Brazil. In addition, it was possible to establish new dialogues between ethnic-racial context and different school contents, based on the Ethnomathematic approach, creating possibilities for a positive african culture reference and giving a new meaning to the simplistic, folkloric and prejudiced imaginary about our african origins and its influence at brazilian identity formation. The African games use is important to demystifying that traditional and conservative pedagogic approach of teaching mathematics. But also, it has showed that the teaching-learning process can be more significant in terms of the brazilian identity, leading elementary school students to interact with different ways of mathematic thinking, besides those western standards, still more common in the current curriculum.
