  ABSTRACT: Ethnomathematics asserts that in addition to the formal, academic mathematics which developed in the West, there are other forms of mathematics which developed in many other societies and cultures around the world. Much research and educational experience hasshown that combining ethnomathematics with formal mathematics teaching in the classroom improves the achievements of students from various ethnic and cultural groups; it strengthens their self-image and reinforces their motivation for mathematical study and research. This paper aims mainly to offer an ethnomathematical analysis of Bedouin embroidery samples taken from traditional dresses made by Bedouin women from the Negev area in the south of Israel. It also aims to describe how ethnomathematical elements are incorporated in the teaching of mathematics for Bedouin students in the Negev, and how this contributes to their learning of mathematics.
