Resumo

Historically created measurement systems have been preserved by sociocultural groups that continue to use ancestral measures, such as the hectare, the tarefa (units of area measurement), and the fathom (a unit of length measurement), in their daily activities. The objective of the research was to reflect on units of measurement that are cultural heritages as possibilities for teaching and learning mathematical concepts. The theoretical framework draws on authors in ethnomathematics and ancestral measurement; the methodological approach adopted was qualitative ethnographic research. The results show that cultural dynamics can be a strategy for teaching and learning in the ways of mathematizing the environment. It is concluded that this knowledge and these practices in the classroom are one of the ways to challenge the status quo established in an imposed curriculum.
