Abstract

Buna is one of the woven motifs from Insana, East Nusa Tenggara Province that uses geometric motifs like a rhombus. Rhombus is a challenging material so students only memorize the formula without understanding the concept.  In order to overcome this problem, a weaving learning based on ethnomathematics has been proposed. The purpose of this study is to understand the impact on the learning achievement of students of the implementation of a realistic mathematical approach based on ethnomathematics. This is a quantitative study using a one-group pretest-posttest design. The population for this study is all fifth-grade students of SDN Bestobe, Insana District. Pretest and posttest results obtained are used for the analysis. The statistical test used is a paired sample t-test. The results show that the implementation of realistic mathematical learning based on ethnomathematics has a substantial influence on the learning achievement of mathematics students. These results contribute to adding empirical evidence related to the relationship between Ethnomathematics-based Realistic Mathematics Education approaches to student achievement.

Abstract

Algebra plays a vital role in developing students' higher-order thinking skills; however, in many junior high schools, algebra instruction remains focused on mechanical procedures rather than conceptual understanding and contextual problem solving. This approach limits students' ability to engage meaningfully with mathematical content, particularly in culturally diverse classrooms where learning materials often lack relevance to students’ lived experiences. To address this gap, this study presents the development of culturally grounded algebra learning materials using Google Slides, chosen for its accessibility, interactivity, and collaborative features, which offer distinct advantages over conventional static media. The study employed the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) model within a Research and Development (R&D) framework to systematically design and evaluate the learning materials. Conducted with seventh-grade students at SMP Lorotuan using a pretest-posttest design, the results revealed a significant increase in student achievement, with scores improving from 45.36 to 86.61 and an N-Gain value of 0.42, classified as moderate by Hake’s standard. Observations and survey data confirmed the materials’ practicality and strong cultural relevance, with students awarding a perfect cultural relevance score (560/560) and reporting increased appreciation for their local culture. This study concludes that integrating local wisdom into interactive algebra instruction can effectively enhance students’ mathematical understanding and cultural identity. The findings support the continued development of culturally responsive digital learning tools that address diverse student needs and promote equitable mathematics education.
