RESUMO

Researches about Brazilian public school reveal that there is a differentiation in the performance of the black students in relation to the others, mainly in Mathematics. We presupposed that and, from the relation between cultural identity and cognition present on the propositions of the Ethnomathematics, appeared questions that lead us to the first indagations of the work, which are: how did the Negro resistance manifestations occur in the XIX and XX centuries? Which is the reality of the black people in the process and during the Brazilian educational development, mainly in the indicated period? What contributions can the Ethnomathematics give to the reconstruction of the educational curriculums to valorize the supposed black knowledge that was brought from the resistance process? From these considerations, the work intends to investigate these possibilities through a study of a case of two schools in the region of Pirituba, in São Paulo, both situated in a ray next to the nucleon of a region that was the first hiding-place of fugitive Negro slaves of the city. So, the question of the research intends to analyze the manner as the Mathematics teachers work the cultural heritage of the student daily and at the Mathematics classes.
