Abstract

This text reports experiences of a decolonial Mathematics Education practice in a municipal public school in the city of São Paulo, Brazil, that resulted in the elaboration of this ongoing master's project. More specifically, it discusses the tensions between an official curriculum and school practices. The experiences occurred with the production of school gardens, executed from the knowledge of agroecology and agroforestry. Among the objectives of this work, we seek to highlight the collective construction of a project, carried out with families, the community, research groups, students, and school staff, which occurred from meetings and discussions about the theories, practices, and public policies necessary for the construction of the garden. Thus, we highlighted some mathematical knowledge of the decolonial Afroindigenous curriculum, based on the cultivation practices of the Guarani M'bya calendar. With this, we discuss the possibilities of school pedagogical practices, in which the indigenous cosmology is inserted into the Basic Education curriculum.
