Abstract

In this work we will present some references on the trends of mathematics education throughout its process of adaptation to the new times that must look at their reflection in the mirror of the cultures they represent, always considering their vertiginous changes. A multicultural and intercultural approach in the classroom thanks to the study of some cases that occurred in develo** countries will make us understand certain ways of objectifying mathematical knowledge based on a dialogue between social and school practices. Counting on the idea that all peoples have developed a mathematical thought in relation to their vital context, geography, history, cosmogony and their mythical stories, both theoretical and practical knowledge can be used to solve their daily problems.

Thus, certain skills which are studied, they also include symbolic systems, spatial designs, techniques, construction practices, calculation methods, models and measurements of time and space, specific forms of reasoning, and other problems and activities, all of them developed in different towns, such as case studies in develo** countries: the use of social and school practices within an indigenous school, Afro-Colombian studies and basic standards in competencies with intercultural dialogue and some mathematical competencies in the project Chair of Afro-Colombian Studies (CEA).
