Abstract

We report on how professional development on ethnomathematics can support teaching and learning in
mathematics. The perspectives of six teachers are analysed, highlighting three key themes: designing ethnomathematics activities, ethnomathematics activities, and teachers’ perceptions on ethnomathematics activities. Firstly, the findings on teachers’ motivation for designing ethnomathematics activities are presented, followed the different types of ethnomathematics activities teachers developed. Finally, teachers’ perceptions of ethnomathematics activities are explored. The findings offer potential for implementing teaching approaches that can support teaching and learning of mathematics.
