“…Abdullah (2017) studied mathematical modeling on the clock and measuring unit in Tasikmalaya, the Sunda district. Furthermore, there are several ethnics which implemented of Ethnomathematics in their life in Cipatujah, West Java, for example, they apply the traditional mathematical concept in the way they determine the time to sail for fishing, and the way they construct their houses (Kusuma, Dewanto, Ruchjana, & Abdullah, 2017). The motifs of batik are an Ethnomathematics context related to lines, angles, triangles, quadrilaterals, circles, and transformation geometry, which exist in several cultures in Indonesia (Risdiyanti & Prahmana, 2018;Lestari, Irawan, Rahayu, & Parwati, 2018;Pramudita & Rosnawati, 2019;Irawan, Lestari, Rahayu, & Wulan, 2019).…”

Mathematics exists as rooted in human ideas, ways, and techniques to respond to their environments. Along with its development, mathematics has been taught through formal education or schooling in the flat- not flexible ways and far from students' social and cultural lives. Indonesia is rich with culture, including the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY). It is called a city of culture. Educators are not yet aware of this richness in the learning process to integrate it as the starting point. It is hard to find in mathematics textbooks in Indonesia, which put cultural context as starting points. Therefore, this study aims to explore Yogyakarta's culture in terms of contexts used in mathematics learning. It is an ethnography study. Furthermore, the data was collected through literature artifacts, field observation, and interviews with resource persons who understand the seasons, system, and calculation of birth and death days. It is to clarify the researcher's understanding of the literature. This study showed that Yogyakarta's people use mathematical modeling to determine the seasons' system and funerary dates. These models have the potential to be used as a starting point in learning mathematics.

“…The cultural group referred to them is urban or rural communities, working groups, professional grade, students in groups, indigenous peoples, and other specific groups (Kusuma, et al 2016). Whether consciously or unconsciously, all of the human activities are done based on an appropriate calculation that is suitable to the condition of nature where they live.…”

Abstract:The study aims to explore the correlation between mathematics and culture, especially Abstrak: Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengeksplorasi hubungan antara matematika dengan budaya, khususnya dalam kegiatan merancang kebaya kartini. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan etnografi yang merupakan sebuah pendekatan empiris dan teoritis untuk mendapatkan gambaran dan analisis mendalam tentang sebuah budaya berdasarkan catatan lapangan yang telah diperoleh dari hasil pengumpulan data. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa dalam kegiatan merancang kebaya kartini memiliki berbagai konsep matematika, seperti sudut, pengukuran, dan operasi bilangan bulat.

“…Another purpose of ethnomatematics is to explore mathematical ideas contained in the context of cultural activities in a community [12]. Some mathematical studies related to culture can be carried out based on the following points of view: 1) looking at the application of mathematics in real life, 2) exploring mathematical concepts in culture, 3) teaching mathematics based on local culture, 4) looking at the integration of mathematics and culture, and 5) analyzing mathematical community activities [27].…”

The purpose of this paper is to discover the ethnomathematical potential through the exploration of mathematical concepts in the dancers position movement. It's executed as an effort to answer the challenges of PISA 2018 and present a contextual mathematics learning resource in corresponding with the Indonesian government policy on learning during the Covid-19 pandemic. One of the traditional dances that can be used as an ethnomatematic potential is the Beskalan Putri Malang dance. This dance can be explored based on the movement of dancers position. Then, this model can present a real experience of abstract mathematical concepts. Furthermore, this paper presents several developments based on the exploration of mathematical concepts in Chacarera dance. The mathematical concepts contained in the dance are only limited to the two dimensional spaces, while in this paper are advanced geometry. The qualitative research with a case study approach is used in this paper. The research data are obtained through interviews, documentations, and field notes. Data analysis is carried out through the following steps: 1) planning an exploration of mathematical concepts in the Beskalan Putri Malang dance, 2) sketching the movement of choreography performed by dancers, 3) generating ideas when connecting from one dance movement to another, 4) determining mathematical concepts based on the sketches that have been made, 5) verifying the suitability of mathematical concepts with the understanding of the concepts, and 6) evaluating and reviewing the results of exploration carried out. The results shows that the mathematical concepts included in the Beskalan Putri Malang dance are geometric transformations that contain the concept of translation, rotation, reflection, dilation, and composition of transformation, so that it can be a source of contextual mathematics learning for high school students. Thus, further research is needed to see how students think about building mathematical connections through the exploration of mathematical concepts in The Beskalan Putri Malang dance.
