Abstract

The article presents indigenous student’s reflections on the possibility of using Galibi-Marworno marks to prepare teaching materials for schools in the cities and villages located in the indigenous lands of Amapá and north of Pará. From the application of a questionnaire and math acti-vity, we collected the study data with six indigenous students during a workshop held in the Oiapoque. Based on a study in Ethnomathematics and the Interculturality developed qualitative research to con-clude the Intercultural Indigenous Undergraduate Course at the Federal University of Amapá. The teachers from the village school and the indigenous school should use the marks or graphism as a resource to produce math-teaching material. They should not restrict their application in exact sciences teaching because teachers can also teach indigenous cultural subjects. However, as long as they seek to explore their utilization in class planning and school formation to improve quality of school life
