ETHNOMATHEMATICS OF THE DISTRIBUTION OF APEM YA QOWIYYU GUNUNGAN IN KLATEN ON GEOMETRY MATERIAL

Abstract

This study aims to describe the mathematical activities in the adat sebaran apem ya qowiyyu and analyze the results of the application of adat sebaran apem ya qowiyyu in mathematics learning. This research method is qualitative. The results showed that the mathematical activities that exist in the custom of sebaran apem ya qowiyyu are as follows: designing activities, namely the community implements it in making the frame, measuring activities, the community implements it by measuring the webbing when creating the gunungan frame, while calculating activities are seen when determining the mass and area of the gunungan mold or frame. Based on the results of the application, it shows that out of 20 students completed with a percentage of 85% completeness in the very good category. The results of the error analysis showed that some students found errors in calculating, reading, interpreting, and transforming. So it can be interpreted that ethnomathematics-based learning in the customary distribution of apem gunungan ya qowiyyu is said to be good.
