Abstract
Mathematics used outside of the school may be considered as a process of modelling rather than a mere process of manipulation of numbers and procedures. The application of ethnomathematical techniques and the tools of modelling allow us to see a different reality and give us a more holistic insight into the kind of mathematics used by specific groups of people. The pedagogical approach that connects the academic to the cultural aspects of mathematics is named ethnomodelling; which is a process of translation and elaboration of problems and questions taken from systems that are part of any given cultural group.
