Gunasdulemar ebised: numeral classifiers

Abstract

The recovery and revitalization of guna mathematics have been complex. Its loss has
increased in the last hundred years. With the arrival of schools, the decimal numbering
system was implemented, resulting in an acculturated generation using their numeral system.
Official education has convinced and conditioned us to believe that the best-invented
numbering base is ten. Therefore, we have been grouping ten by ten even though we have
considered it is the only base invented. It has influenced our numeral system, and the worst
thing is that we come to think that our mathematics would be difficult to teach and learn for
lack of specialized terms and lexicons in our native language. This essay summarizes the field
of investigation of numeral classifiers, how to use them and how to make them part of the
teaching of classrooms.
