Фрагмент статьи
This paper shows how the names of numbers have been constructed and how through the use of numbers Mayan embroiderers express and keep alive a Mayan cosmovision. I argue that in this case the use of numbers is not adequately understood: it has been seen as simply a mathematical tool used for utilitarian calculation. Multiple dimensions come into play in the use of numbers, not only the cognitive and social dimensions, but also affective, emotional, corporal, symbolic and spiritual dimensions. Consideration of all these dimensions, and not only the cognitive and social aspects, is important in mathematical education.
