Abstract:
This research seeks to describe the mathematical practices that a community of older adults has through their savings and purchasing strategies, thus identifying and emerging their mathematical thinking supported by the Etnomathematics program (D`Ambrosio, 2012). The above is ascribed to an emic perspective that discovers how actors categorize, order and organize sociocultural and economic phenomena in their minds, from which the Ethnomodel emerges - which is a valuable primary data of the sociocultural experience that generates transformations and variants. This is how the actors ratify their sociocultural contexts.
