Abstract

This study aims to explore the geometric concepts of two-dimensional shapes embedded in the traditional Marsitekka game and the architectural structure of Rumah Bolon as representations of ethnomathematics within the Batak Toba culture. The background of this research highlights the importance of contextual and meaningful mathematics learning through the integration of local cultural elements. The research employed a qualitative library research method, where data were collected through a literature review of scholarly journals, academic articles, and related documents. Content analysis was used to identify geometric forms found in the cultural objects under study. The results reveal that the Marsitekka game contains various two-dimensional shapes such as squares, rectangles, semicircles, and triangle variations visible in the game’s layout and the Gaco objects used. Meanwhile, Rumah Bolon features shapes such as isosceles triangles, trapezoids, circles, and rectangles apparent in the roof structure, building façade, and Gorga ornamentation. These findings reinforce that both cultural elements have significant potential as contextual learning media for teaching geometry, particularly two-dimensional shapes, through an ethnomathematical approach. This study is expected to serve as a foundation for developing teaching materials based on local wisdom to enhance students’ understanding and interest in mathematics.

Abstract

Conceptual understanding plays a crucial role in mathematics learning; however, classroom practices that prioritize procedural execution often hinder students’ ability to construct meaning from mathematical ideas. This issue was observed among seventh-grade students at SMP Cinta Rakyat 3 Pematangsiantar, where problem-solving activities were largely approached through formula memorization rather than conceptual reasoning. This study investigates the extent to which a pedagogical deep learning strategy, defined as a high-level cognitive approach distinct from artificial intelligence, can enhance students’ mathematical conceptual understanding by fostering active engagement, conceptual exploration, and reflective thinking. The research adopted a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design involving 32 students selected through purposive sampling. Students’ understanding was assessed using an essay-based instrument aligned with indicators of conceptual comprehension. Data were examined through descriptive analysis, normality testing, paired-sample t-test, and the calculation of the Normalized Gain (N-Gain) index. The findings reveal a meaningful increase in conceptual understanding following the intervention, indicated by a significant difference between pretest and posttest scores and an average N-Gain of 0.62, classified as a moderate level of improvement. These results highlight the potential of deep learning-oriented instructional practices to support deeper conceptual engagement in mathematics learning. While the absence of a control group restricts broader generalization, the study offers preliminary empirical insight into the effectiveness of deep learning strategies within junior high school mathematics contexts.
