Abstract

One might say that the word and number form the basis of the whole process of thinking of mankind, upon them has been erected science. In a brief tour of the contributions of some cultures to mathematics, the importance of refl ection and restoration of historical and cultural conceptions related to this fact exposed, to make mathematical science, closer and understandable school practice. A hypothesis is presented on the use of the indigenous counter or cañari mathematical instrument. Finally, the use of the taptana as concrete didactic material of daily use in the teaching - learning of mathematical operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
