<![CDATA[One of the efforts to preserve puppet culture among the younger generation is to introduce puppets as early as possible to young people, this introduction can be through learning mathematics. One of the steps that can be taken is by learning based on puppet ethnomathematics. This study aims to identify and describe the concept of statistics contained in the process and form contained in shadow puppets as a medium for learning mathematics. The population in this study were VII grade junior high school students in Baran village totaling 15 students while the sample in this study were 8 VIII grade junior high school students. The research subjects were selected through an initial interview of willingness to participate in learning activities that took place on April 27-28, 2024. The data collection instrument in this research is the researcher as the main instrument while the instrument to complement the data and compare with existing data through activities such as observation, interviews, and documentation. This research uses the grounded theory method. The results of this study indicate that the fundamental aspects of mathematics contained in shadow puppets can be implemented in contextual learning of mathematics at the first level of middle school, especially in the content of class VIII statistics in the form of questions. This conclusion is reinforced through interviews which confirm that students have an interest in learning mathematics using shadow puppets, and the results of the answers reviewed through the learner worksheet given to students can be done thoroughly so that learning based on shadow puppet ethnomathematics has the potential to be implemented in formal schools.]]>
