Resumen

Los maestros de primaria con frecuencia luchan para conectar las matemáticas con las experiencias cotidianas. Esto puede ser debido a que los maestros, quienes enseñan matemáticas y los profesionales en el campo de las matemáticas constituyen dos grupos distintos, y es así que pertenecen a comunidades etnomatemáticas de práctica muy diferentes ya que usan distintos algoritmos y vocabularios para explorar conceptos matemáticos similares. Este artículo está constituido por una revisión a la literatura sobre este tema y un reporte de investigación de una iniciativa de desarrollo profesional al respecto. Participaron seis maestros en este proyecto de desarrollo profesional durante una semana, en el que se les expuso a ideas y conceptos relacionados, pero distintos de las matemáticas del salón de clases. Al término de la semana, todos los maestros articularon conexiones más amplias y más profundas entre sus prácticas de aula y las matemáticas fuera de la escuela. Este trabajo sugiere que los maestros necesitan más estímulo y apoyo para explorar los límites entre el salón de clases y los usos profesionales de las matemáticas. De esa manera, los maestros podrán ayudar a sus propios estudiantes a reconocer la importancia de las matemáticas fuera del salón de clases.
