Abstract


Abstract: Ethnomathematics study of islands indigenous peoples in Maluku Province, Indonesia. Objective: The aim of this study was implementation of a mathematics study in learning related to island communities’ context in Maluku. Methods: This study used methods of exploration, documentation and literature study. Findings: Many local communities in the Maluku did not realize that all selling activities, handicraft, or woven are included in mathematics in the form of fractions or geometry. Conclusion: this study concluded that the activities of selling, weaving and crafting in the community display fraction and geometry patterns

Keywords: Ethnomatematics, island indigenous peoples, fractions, geometry.

 

Abstrak: Kajian Etnomatematika Dalam Masyarakat Adat Kepulauan di Provinsi Maluku, Indonesia. Tujuan: Implementasi kajian matematika dalam pembelajaran berkaitan dengan konteks masyarakat kepulauan di Maluku. Metode: Metode eksplorasi, dokumentasi dan studi literatur., Temuan: Banyak masyarakat lokal di Maluku yang lokal yang tidak menyadari bahwa seluruh aktivitas jualan, tenunan maupun kerajinan atau anyaman masuk dalam bentuk matematik berupa pecahan maupun geometri. Kesimpulan: Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa aktivitas jualan, tenun, dan kerajinan masyarakat menampilkan pola pecahan dan geometri. 

Kata kunci: Etnomatematika, masyarakat adat kepuluan, pecahan, geometri.
