Abstract

The needs of math in various aspects of life prove that through math, human can understand and solve the problems. Basically, learning math has never been separated from daily lives, especially the culture, but most of students assume that math and culture have no any much correlation. This may occur because almost all teaching media used by the teachers have not given any real examples yet on the relation between math and culture that we have. One of the ethnomathematical objects that can be used as learning media are the historical objects at Fort Roterdam. The study aims to deeply explore and dig the concept of learning geometry bases on any kinds of ethnomathematics that can be used as the sources or learning math on Junior High School level. This field study shows that based on the exploration, observation, and documentation results as well as the literature study, it was found the geometry concept on the historical objects at Fort Roterdam. Learning math based on ethnomathematics can be implemented in order to introduce the cultures to the students as well as to give more interesting learning.
