Abstract

Mathematics is one of the branches of science that continues to develop to meet human and technological needs. This means that students must improve their ability to think systematically, analytically, logically, critically, and creatively. The main problem in this study is how to describe students' critical thinking skills in solving math problems through the ethnomathematics approach. The purpose of this study is to describe students' critical thinking skills in solving math problems using the ethnomathematics approach, which combines mathematical materials with their local culture. This research uses a qualitative descriptive approach with research instruments in the form of tests and interviews involving data analysis from interviews and test answers.  The results showed that high ability students (KT1 and KT2) met all four indicators, namely interpretation, analysis, evaluation, and inference. Students with low ability (KR1 and KR2) only fulfill two indicators, namely analysis and interpretation. This study also shows that the traditional game of dam-daman is effective in describing students' mathematical ability to think critically. To help low-ability students fulfill all critical thinking criteria, further research is needed.

Abstract

Mathematics is often perceived as an abstract discipline, detached from everyday life. However, mathematical concepts can actually be found within local cultures, one example being in the costume of Tari Lahbako, a traditional dance from Jember that represents the life of tobacco workers. This study aims to explore elements of ethnomathematics in the Tari Lahbako costume using a descriptive approach with ethnographic methods. Data were collected through direct observation and in-depth interviews at two dance studios: Sanggar Sweeta Collection and Sanggar Ninien Ariesitta. The results indicate that costume elements such as the hair bun, apron, skirt, and other accessories contain geometric shapes such as squares, circles, rhombuses, trapezoids, as well as concepts of reflection, parallel lines, and right angles. In addition, the presence of symmetrical patterns and regularity in the costume reveals an intuitive mathematical understanding by the designers. Therefore, the Tari Lahbako costume not only holds aesthetic and cultural value but also has great potential to be used as a medium for contextual mathematics learning. Through an ethnomathematical approach, students can understand mathematical concepts more concretely, meaningfully, and rooted in local wisdom

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the extent to which students comprehend and solve problems grounded in mathematical literacy. This research adopts a descriptive method with a qualitative approach to portray students’ comprehension in addressing mathematical literacy tasks. Students’ understanding is analyzed based on three indicators proposed by Ruseffendi: translation, interpretation, and extrapolation. The data collection techniques employed in this study include written tests and interviews. The written test is used to assess students’ mastery of the material, while interviews are conducted with selected participants to gain deeper insight into how they comprehend and solve the given problems. The study was conducted at SMP Lab Jenggawah, involving four student participants—two identified as having high mathematical ability and two with low mathematical ability. Students with high mathematical ability exhibited a strong level of comprehension, as demonstrated by their achievement across all three indicators: translation, interpretation, and extrapolation. Conversely, students with low mathematical ability tended to display limited comprehension, as they were only able to reach the levels of translation and interpretation, without attaining the extrapolation stage. Students with lower levels of mathematical ability encountered challenges such as limited comprehension of the contextual aspects of literacy-based problems and inaccuracies in performing calculations, especially at the extrapolation stage. These findings underscore the necessity of reinforcing instructional strategies that effectively foster mathematical literacy, with adaptations aligned to students’ varying levels of proficiency.

Abstract

The main focus of this research is to identify geometric patterns that may be hidden within the dimensions, shapes, and orientations of the dolmens. Overall, the objective is to identify, analyze, and understand the ethnomathematical concepts embedded in the dolmens at the Duplang Site. The specific aims include documenting the dimensions, comparing them with other sites, and interpreting their cultural significance. This study employs a qualitative descriptive method with an ethnographic approach. The research methods involve direct observation, documentation, interviews, visual analysis, and precise measurements using a measuring tape. The outcomes of this exploration are expected to make a significant contribution to our understanding of the cognitive abilities of prehistoric communities. The main outputs include a comprehensive research report and the identification of unique mathematical patterns such as hidden geometries
