Abstract

This research aims to explore the numerical abilities of elementary school students through ethnomathematics learning in the engklek game. Ethnomathematics is a learning approach that integrates cultural and mathematical elements to improve understanding of mathematical concepts. Engklek, as one of Indonesia's traditional games, has the potential to be used as a fun and contextual learning medium for students. Through a literature review, this research analyzes various relevant literature to explore the relationship between the crank game and students' numerical abilities. The research results show that the integration of engklek games in mathematics learning can increase students' learning motivation, facilitate understanding of numerical concepts, and develop critical thinking and logistics skills. These findings have an impact on developing a more inclusive and contextual curriculum by incorporating cultural elements in mathematics learning at the elementary school level.
