Muhtadi, Dedi; Sukirwan; Warsito; Prahmana, Rully Charitas Indra
Journal on Mathematics Education, v8 n2 p185-198 Jul 2017
Mathematics is a form of culture integrated in all aspects of society, wherever there are, including the sundanese ethnic communities. This enables the mathematical concepts embedded in cultural practices and recognizes that all people develop a special way of doing mathematics called ethnomathematics activities. Sundanese ethnomathematics is mathematics in sundanese culture implemented in community activities. Sundanese ethnic sundanese people living in the area of West Java Indonesia, speaking sundanese language, and having activities reflecting sundanese culture. Sundanese ethnomathematics in this study has three activities, namely estimating, measuring, and making patterns appearing in the activities in term of "kibik" (a unit for measuring volume), "bata" (a unit for measuring surface area), and path "pihuntuan" (a model of cane work).
