This article presents results of a research on numerical terms and geometric qualifiers in the Pangyjej language of the Zoró indigenous people. The research was carried out as a conclusion course in the Undergraduate Degree in Basic Intercultural Education offered by the Intercultural Education Department of the Federal University of Rondônia. One motivation for conducting the research was the absence of specific didactic material on traditional mathematical knowledge in the schools of the Zoró Indigenous Land. The methodological path involved photographic records, interviews with teachers and elders in Anguj Tapua and Zawa Karej Pangyjej villages, observations of daily activities of hunting, hunting and fishing, as well as informal dialogues with students from Zawa Karej Pangyjej school. As results, it was possible to register some numerical terms and geometric qualifiers referring to mathematical knowledge in the Pangyjej language. These results may support the production of specific didactic materials for the teaching of mathematics in Zoró schools.
