Resumen
Many schools are recognizing the need for students to gain a broader world view, especially in the post-9/11 setting. There is concern about citizens’ narrow view of the world, often lacking basic geographic knowledge such as locations of countries, and even less likely to know about cultures and societies. It is argued that much more global education needs to be included in school curricula. Whether it is one unit in one class or the overall mission of the school, it brings the world into the classroom. Often, it also takes the classroom out into the world. Although schools often start global education with social studies, the arts, and literature, educators later realize that the sciences and mathematics also link to the world. This is where ethnomathematics can play an important role. Given standardized requirements in mathematics content, certain mathematical concepts and skills must be covered, but often even these can be treated from the point of view of mathematics from around the world and from the structures of world cultures. Examples and implications will be discussed.
