dc.description	Students’ cultural diversity is an important factor to consider in a mathematics education concerned with equity. We argue that the significance of mathematics education is not only given by the understanding of mathematical concepts but also by students’ foreground, that is, the students’ perception of their future possibilities in life as made apparent to the individual by his/her social-political context. For students in a cultural borderline position, different reasons and intentions for engaging in mathematics learning may be related to the construction of meaning in mathematics. Through inter-viewing Brazilian Indian students’ foreground, we illuminate the different types of significance given to mathematics education in their particular situation. Keywords: Inter-viewing. Foreground. Cultural Borderline Position.<br>A diversidade cultural dos estudantes é um fator importante a ser considerado na educação matemática que se preocupa com a igualdade. Sustenta-se que o significado da educação matemática não está vinculado apenas à compreensão de conceitos matemáticos mas, também, ao foreground dos estudantes, isto é, à percepção de suas possibilidades futuras na vida tal como aparecem ao indivíduo em seu contexto sociopolítico. Para os estudantes que estão em uma posição cultural de fronteira, as diferentes razões e intenções que os levam a envolver-se com a aprendizagem matemática podem estar relacionadas à construção de significado em Matemática. Entre-vistas com alguns estudantes indígenas do Brasil trazem à cena diferentes tipos de significados por eles atribuídos à Educação Matemática em suas situações particulares. Palavras chave: Entre-vista. Foreground. Posição Cultural de Fronteira.
