This research presents an analysis of the relationship between maths, physics and the cultural practices of the Amazon, with regard to the process of building Bragantina ceramics. The research was carried out in a community called "Vila Cuéra", located in the rural area of the municipality of Bragança-PA, on the banks of the Caeté river. The experience portrays the process of building Caeté ceramics, highlighting important aspects where the ceramicist uses his own maths and physics to design his work. In this way, we sought to highlight each piece of knowledge involved in the ceramics production process, which relates known mathematical contents such as geometry and symmetry, as well as physics contents such as temperature and heat transfer. Thus, we sought to analyse the ethnomathematical and ethnophysical knowledge present in the practice of building clay pieces in the "Vila Cuéra" community, as well as highlighting the need for dialogues between ethnomathematical and ethnophysical knowledge with scientific knowledge from Mathematical Science and Physical Science, as a way of understanding and respecting the knowledge of the various populations that make up the Amazon.
