Abstract

This study examines ethnomathematical values embedded in traditional pottery crafts in Sitiwinangun Village, Cirebon Regency, Indonesia, and discusses their potential for contextual mathematics learning. Using an exploratory qualitative case-study design, data were collected through non-participant observation, semi-structured interviews with craftsmen, and visual documentation. The analysis reveals mathematical ideas in both the pottery forms and production process, including spatial geometry (circles, cylinders, cones, and spheres), radial symmetry, proportional reasoning, rotation, and volume estimation. Traditional tools such as the spinning wheel (petra) illustrate rotational principles that can support learning in geometry and related mathematical concepts. Beyond mathematical aspects, pottery artefacts (e.g., jugs) also convey cultural-symbolic values associated with balance in local traditions. Digital visualisation of pottery shapes using Maple software further supports geometric understanding. To our knowledge, the ethnomathematical exploration of Sitiwinangun pottery as a contextual learning resource has received limited attention. These findings indicate that pottery-based ethnomathematics can enrich geometry instruction by connecting cultural practices with formal mathematical concepts and informing the development of local culture-based learning modules.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship between subjective well-being and mathematical spatial ability in students of SMP Negeri 11 Cirebon. This study uses a quantitative approach with a correlational design, with a sample of 31 students of class VIII-H selected through cluster random sampling technique. Data were collected through a subjective well-being questionnaire and a mathematical spatial ability test, then analyzed using the Spearman's Rho correlation test. The results showed that the level of students' subjective well-being was in the high category, while the average component of students' mathematical spatial ability was also in the high category. The results of the correlation test showed a significant negative relationship between the two variables (ρ = -0.358; p = 0.048), which indicates that the higher the students' subjective well-being, the lower the tendency of their mathematical spatial ability scores, and vice versa. This finding contradicts the majority of literature reporting a positive relationship between psychological well-being and academic achievement in general, and can be explained through the perspectives of cognitive load theory, cognitive tuning hypothesis, and the concept of mathematical well-being, which emphasizes that positive affect does not always go hand in hand with maximal cognitive effort on mathematical tasks
