By accompanying some residents who live in the locality, it was possible to learn about part of this culture, as well as the ways in which they use mathematics in their daily activities. The work developed around the construction of a furnace in which every step of its construction was closely watched by researchers Cesar Augusto da Sena Lameira and Leonardo Costa Lopes. With this investigation, it was possible to obtain relevant data to understand the importance of the knowledge of these people, and the ways that can be inserted into the teaching of mathematics in schools, taking into account the social, economic and cultural aspects, allowing the student to identify with the content. for the existence of a didactic pedagogical methodology that provides appreciation for the traditions of the peasant people.
