“…Ethnomathematics uses broad mathematical conceptions, particularly the activities of counting, discovering, measuring, designing, playing, and explaining (Cimen, 2014;Izmirli, 2011;Nur et al, 2020). Every culture, both western and eastern, has a relationship with mathematics.…”

“…The connection is ethnomathematics. Researchers in ethnomathematics investigate how different cultural groups understand, articulate, and apply ideas, procedures, and techniques identified as mathematical practice (D'Ambrosio, 2018;Nur et al, 2020). Ethnomatanatics as a much broader research paradigm than the traditional concepts of mathematics, ethnology, and multiculturalism in other writings.…”

Each culture has its own mathematics, and mathematics is born of culture. And ethnomathematics exists as a link between mathematics and culture. This study aims to analyze the ethnomathematics contained in the soccer game of Aceh's coastal children. This type of exploratory research uses an ethnographic approach. The subjects in this study were Acehnese coastal children aged five to twelve years who were playing ball in the afternoon, totaling 18 people. The selection of the subject of the study was carried out using the incidental sampling technique. Data collection is carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation. There are four forms of data analysis in this study such as domain, taxonomic, component, and cultural themes. The results of this study show that children, while playing, have used knowledge in mathematics, such as the concepts of line alignment, addition and difference, comparison, the theory of opportunity, numbers and rounding, and measurement, without realizing it. In addition, the mathematical concepts used in football games show that Acehnese coastal children have their own ethnomathematics, as evidenced by their being able to do mathematical modeling, understand the concept of harmony, and argue. So that ethnomathematics in the soccer game of Aceh coastal children is shown in the form of mathematical behavior that reflects children's understanding of problems and how to solve them using mathematics.

“…The implementation of ethnomathematics has also been shown to positively influence students' mathematical attitudes, conceptual understanding, and motivation, leading to improved mathematical representation abilities and cognitive styles (Kowiyah et al, 2019;Sinambela et al, 2022;Virgana, 2019). In addition, the use of ethnomathematics in mathematics education has been found to contribute to the improvement of school mathematics and the development of mathematics learning (Hendriana & Buyung, 2020;Bravo et al, 2023;Nur et al, 2020).…”

Kite is a traditional game with many mathematical concepts, making them applicable in ethno-STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics)-based learning. Therefore, this research explores the mathematical concepts inherent in kite flying related to ethnomathematics and STEM education. This research employs a qualitative exploratory approach. Data are collected through three methods: documentation, observation, and interviews. After collecting data, a descriptive analysis is conducted, including data reduction, presentation, and verification. Based on the data analysis, the mathematical concepts in kite-making include geometry, measurement, area and perimeter calculations, ratios and scales, patterns and symmetry, and arithmetic. Kite-making can be applied in ethno-STEM-based mathematics learning as it aligns with the current curriculum and adheres to STEM learning principles. Therefore, kite-making can serve as a tool for mathematics education, making learning more meaningful, enjoyable, interactive, and contextual. This research exploration suggests that numerous mathematical concepts can be further examined in ethno-STEM-based learning. Additionally, this research highlights the connection between mathematics and the socio-cultural context.

“…In the process of making Lutur Batu, the community has indirectly used mathematical concepts such as optimizing the area bounded by Lutur Batu, the volume of hollow cylinders to estimate the number of stones needed to make a fence in the form of Lutur Batu, and the concept of ratio to estimate the completion time for Lutur Batu so the planting process is on time. Lutur Batu and the mathematical concepts contained therein can be used in mathematics learning at school to enrich learning materials, increase learning motivation [20], and improve students' understanding of mathematics concepts [21]. Apart from that, this can increase students' insight and knowledge regarding cultural heritage [3] on Moa Island.…”

The people of Moa Island have a cultural heritage in the form of Lutur Batu. Lutur Batu is a construction of large stones arranged side by side to form a circular wall. Lutur Batu is used to close village boundaries and as a garden fence which aims to protect plants from wild animals. This research aims to determine ethnomathematics studies on Lutur Batu on Moa Island. The ethnomathematics study of Lutur Batu on Moa Island in this research is expected to provide a deeper understanding of the local wisdom of the people of Moa Island, as well as contribute to the recognition, maintenance, and preservation of cultural heritage with mathematical value in the region. Furthermore, an understanding of the geometric patterns and construction of Lutur Batu can be adopted in mathematics learning at school to increase students' interest in learning and understanding of mathematical concepts.This qualitative research focuses on an in-depth understanding of ways of thinking and using mathematics in the traditions and practices of making Lutur Batu in Moa Island. The results of the analysis on Lutur Batu and the manufacturing process showed that there are mathematical concepts such as circles, cylinders, comparisons, and statistics. Lutur Batu and the Mathematical concepts contained therein can be used in Mathematics learning at school to enrich learning materials, increase learning motivation and students' understanding of Mathematics concepts. Apart from that, it can increase students' insight and knowledge regarding the cultural heritage of Moa Island
