Abstract

Ethnomathematics can be an option for teaching a more contextual mathematics which contributes to a successful mathematics learning. The present study highlighted ethnomathematics concepts that could be found in Sumedang’s local food, namely Sumedang Tofu, and the bamboo basket used as its container (bongsang).  Mathematical concepts in Sumedang Tofu and its bongsang are related to geometry. Geometry allows students to develop their abilities in presenting or describing the order in the world or their immediate environment. Geometry learning affects students’ ability to connect mathematical ideas, both in the discipline and to other disciplines as well as the real world. The results of this study show that Primary School students still had difficulties in learning and understanding geometry. Therefore, it was necessary to develop a method that would improve students’ understanding of geometrical concepts, which were important because they were highly relevant to students’ daily life. The present study aimed to explore geometrical concepts found in Sumedang tofu and bongsang. Descriptive qualitative approach was implemented, in which the data was gathered through observation, literature study, and interviews. The findings indicated that geometrical concepts could be found in Sumedang tofu and bongsang. Those concepts could be used in mathematics lessons in primary school to provide meaningful learning for students. The results of this study could be used as a foundation to develop an ethnomathematics learning in primary school level. 
小学几何教学中苏梅当豆腐和奉筐的民族数学价值
民族数学可以作为一种更具情境性的数学教学的选择,有助于成功的数学学习。本研究强调了民族数学概念,这些概念可以在Sumedang的当地食物中找到,即Sumedang豆腐,以及用作其容器的竹篮(bongsang)。苏梅当豆腐及其奉相中的数学概念与几何有关。几何学使学生能够发展他们在呈现或描述世界或他们周围环境的秩序方面的能力。几何学习影响学生将本学科和其他学科以及现实世界中的数学概念联系起来的能力。本研究结果显示,小学生在几何的学习和理解上仍有困难。因此,有必要开发一种方法来提高学生对几何概念的理解,这很重要,因为它们与学生的日常生活高度相关。本研究旨在探索水梅当豆腐和奉香中的几何概念。采用描述性定性方法,通过观察、文献研究和访谈收集数据。研究结果表明,在水麦当豆腐和奉香中可以找到几何概念。这些概念可以运用在小学数学课程中,为学生提供有意义的学习。本研究结果可作为发展小学生民族数学学习的基础。
