From ethnomathematics to ethnocomputing

Ethnomathematics faces two challenges: first, it must investigate the mathematical ideas in cultural practices that are often assumed to be unrelated to mathematics. Second, even if we are successful in finding this previously unrecognized mathematics, applying this to children's education may be difficult. In this essay, we will describe the use of computational media to help address both of these challenges.
