Resumen
The implementation of Culturally Relevant Pedagogy helps to develop student intellectual, social, and political learning by using cultural referents to acquire knowledge. It uses prior experiences of minority students to make learning more relevant and effective in order to strengthen connectedness with schools. Presently, there is a need to examine the embeddedness of culture in mathematics, which takes on the cultural nature of knowledge production into the mathematics curriculum. Ethnomathematics and culturally relevant pedagogy-based approaches to mathematics curriculum are intended to make mathematical content relevant to students. The objective of this theoretical article is to discuss the principles of culturally relevant education according to an ethnomathematical perspective.
