Artisan mathematics: the know-how in house buildings

Blog Article

In this article, we present considerations related to the artisan mathematics of a group of construction workers who collaborated in the production of empirical material in a doctoral dissertation defended by the first author in October 2020.The Discursive Textual Analyze by Moraes and Galiazzi (2016) is the methodology used for data adifom q red production.In this text, we address the question: How does artisan mathematics contribute to know-how in house buildings? In line with this problem, we outline the objectives: to discuss the know-how of artisan mathematics with a group of construction workers and to explain part of the craftsmanship in the technique of their mathematical know-how.We interpret three situations highlighted by the artisans: the use of stones tinsupe to mark the roof trusses, the projection of wood for perfect fitting points, and the chamfering of a wall when the terrain is sloping.In the results, we reaffirm this mathematics through social approximations, imagination, and hand techniques.
