Abstract
This research shows the study of ways of thinking mathematically that a craft guild (the artisan of leather rope work in Buenos Aires) has developed to organize and carry out his practice. A review of literature on thinking, mathematics and culture allows us to set the theoretical foundations of the work and its roots in the ethnomathematics program. Since the interest is from the point of view of the artisans, ethnographic research is done. From the analysis of the representations of practice expressed by the artisans, mathematical thinking emerges from the same structured in the ethnomodels.
