Abstract

One of the reasons why mathematics is still a scourge for elementary school students in the delivery of mathematics material that seems formal and the lack of involvement of interesting and contextual learning media. It needs the right approach and media to present formal mathematics material so that students are able to understand the material and its benefits in real-life contexts. One of them is to use local culture and wisdom as a concrete medium. The purpose of this PKM program is to improve the knowledge and skills of SD YPPK St. Elementary School teachers. Tarsisius Biankuk through training in the use of ethnomathematical-based concrete media in learning mathematics.
