Pensamiento geométrico en las mochilas arhuacas

It is the arhuaca knapsack a fertile pre-colombian object in beauty and development of ancestral geometric thought. Due to its wealth, three are the perspectives of analysis presented in this article, in the presence of the designs complexity that provides them configuration and beauty: 1. Reference is made about the development of the geometric-symbolic thought when elaborating the knapsack. 2. A detailed analysis of the ethno-mathematic processes which are incorporated when knitting the traditional figures of the lateral part of the knapsack is presented, next an analysis of the gauzes is made and, finally, an examination is realized of the designs shown in the bottoms of the knapsacks, divided into three categories: bottoms that define spirals, those that define concentric rings and those that combine concentric rings and traditional figures. 3. Some reflections on the educational contributions of the ethno-mathematic developed by the arhuacas women in the backpacks are presented; these have to do, among others, with the importance of the color when developing geometric thought, and with the inaccuracy that exists in the measures and their similar consequences towards the development of similar scholar geometric concepts.
