Abstract

This research paper aims to show the society how the children of the Puruha peoples who live in Tarqui, Guayaquil canton, province of Guayas, perceive, understand, and see the universe, the cosmos, from the perspective of games. Actually, this is present in different cultures all over the world. However, the education system, by means of discipline, annuls games from the learning process. We suggest to use games as an intercultural bridge. We analyzed the theoretical framework and the methodological potential of games and interculturality. The research question which guided this work is How can games be a didactic mediator of the mathematicsinter-learning processfor students in their fourth year of primary education at CECIB-Sultana de los Andes School, 2012-2013? The aim of this work was to determine the pedagogical school the mathematics learning process of those students was based on. Finally, there are some conclusions and recommendations, which we esteem, will help to improve the learning processes. The techniques for data collection in this research work were interviews and observations; the method used was bibliographic-documentary and in-situ.
