| description | In the article, the ethnomathematical connections between geometric concepts evidenced in the elaboration of the tortilla by a merchant from Chilpancingo, Mexico are analyzed. The research was theoretically based on Ethnomathematics and the methodology was qualitative-ethnographic. The data were collected through a semi-structured interview, applied to a tortilla merchant from the city of Chilpancingo, Mexico. The results show the connections between the concepts (circumference-circle-cylinder), measurements, counts and sequences, which arise in the process of making, shaping and marketing the tortilla. The analysis of the practice of making tortillas, allowed to identify geometric concepts that provide tools to the teaching of school mathematics, from situations or tasks based on everyday life. Teachers are shown the existence of other ways of approaching the associated geometric concepts, using: paper, ruler, pencil and compass, together with the GeoGebra software that allows visualizing mathematical objects, and permanently evidence the connections established by a person in the graphical and algebraic-symbolic views. |

En el artículo, se analizan las conexiones etnomatemáticas entre conceptos geométricos evidenciados en la elaboración de la tortilla por un comerciante de Chilpancingo, México. La investigación se fundamentó teóricamente en la Etnomatemática y la metodología fue cualitativa-etnográfica. Los datos se recolectaron a través de una entrevista semiestructurada, aplicada a un comerciante de tortillas de la ciudad de Chilpancingo, México. En los resultados se presentan las conexiones entre los conceptos (circunferencia-círculo-cilindro), mediciones, conteos y sucesiones, que surgen en el proceso de elaboración, forma y comercialización de la tortilla. El análisis de la práctica de elaboración de tortillas, permitió identificar conceptos geométricos que aportan herramientas a la enseñanza de las matemáticas escolares, desde situaciones o tareas basadas en la cotidianidad. Se muestra a los profesores la existencia de otras formas de abordar los conceptos geométricos asociados, usando: papel, regla, lápiz y compás, junto con el software GeoGebra que permite visualizar los objetos matemáticos, y evidencia permanentemente las conexiones establecidas por una persona en las vistas gráfica y algebraica-simbólica.
