Etnomodelagem e Capoeira: caminhos para uma Educação Matemática Antirracista

This theoretical essay discusses how capoeira, an Afro-Brazilian cultural expression marked by resistance and ancestry, can be integrated into Mathematics Education through Ethnomodeling, promoting an anti-racist approach. The text discusses structural racism in Education, current legislation, and proposes pedagogical practices that value knowledge of African culture. Capoeira, with its rhythmic, musical, and bodily richness, reveals mathematical elements that, articulated with academic mathematics, contribute to critical, contextualized, and inclusive teaching. Ethnomodeling, in this sense, enables the construction of ethnomodels and the strengthening of Black identity in the school environment, through an anti-racist and intercultural Mathematics Education.
